This course is set at the operational level and targets senior national and international experts and decision-makers of armed forces (battalion level and above), police (senior police officer), non-governmental/civilian organisations (head of substantive section and above), and the political/civilian administration (head of division/department and above) who are working in the context of peacekeeping and/or international crisis management.
The course language is English and participants must be fully proficient in English in order to be able to engage in discussions and fully benefit from the training.
Late arrivals or early departures cannot be accepted. The intense course programme does furthermore not allow for any additional commitments during the course.
Participants are required to complete selected IDL (Internet-Based Distance Learning) modules in the preparatory phase preceding the residential part of this course. The timely completion of these IDL modules is a precondition for receiving the course certificate. A constant well working internet connection and ongoing presence over email is therefore compulsory for participants.
- Selection Criteria and Process
The organizers have formed a Course Admission Board and strive to select a highly qualified group of participants in order to ensure the set course standard. The selection process considers a balance in professional and organisational backgrounds, age, nationality and gender. Qualified women candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
Since the slots are limited to 30 participants, only the best qualified candidates can be accepted.
Successful candidates will be informed after the completed selection process, which will be approximately 2 weeks after the application deadline.
