Penta is committed to capacity building through the ongoing delivery of high quality, comprehensive, tailored training courses globally. We understand the complexities and demands facing paediatric infectious disease healthcare professionals today, and have developed educational content within the framework of a patient-centred teaching model to support their ongoing learning needs. Since 2005 we have been successfully organizing interactive, scientifically rigorous and fully immersive paediatric HIV training courses for delegates around the world – integrating both residential and innovative distance learning methods across a variety of languages.

PentaTr@ining is a pioneering training platform that continues to develop and evolve in response to the changing needs of children, pregnant women and young people living with HIV and other infectious diseases.
We are proud to have on board a fully briefed faculty who are world experts in their field. In addition to delivering face-to-face trainings in resource limited regions, we have recently fully redesigned and upgraded our flagship online course to incorporate up-to-date knowledge on other congenital infections. Our aim is to continue updating and strengthening our training material with each course while building on the success, reputation and true collegiate spirit of the previous ‘Tr@inforPedHIV’ courses.
Further to this, we are currently expanding our training programmes on other clinical areas of our research activity – continuing to widen our network more and more, and where it matters most!
