New name, same courses
UNITAR POCI is now the Peace Operations Training Institute. We are pleased to continue to provide all the same training courses on peacekeeping as we have done for the past fifteen years and as was recently welcomed by the United Nations Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (C34). Here is what you should know:
- We still offer the same courses.
- Your existing enrolments are still valid.
- We are still accepting new enrolments under our new name.
We are working hard to make this a quick and smooth transition. In the meantime, you may continue to see the name “UNITAR POCI” in some places. Thank you for your support.
About the Peace Operations Training Institute and ELAP
At the end of 2007, there were more than 102,000 UN peacekeeping personnel representing 119 nations serving in 20 DPKO-led peace operations. If there is to be efficient and coordinated effort among military and civilian components from around the world, personnel of all nations should receive standardised training and preparation.
E-Learning for African Peacekeepers (ELAP) makes Peace Operations Training Institute distance courses on peacekeeping available and free of charge for all military, police, and gendarmerie personnel who are citizens of covered African nations. Through ELAP, eligible Africans may enrol on-line, download their study materials, submit their End-of-Course Examinations, and upon passing receive their Certificates of Completion.
The Peace Operations Training Institute is pleased to welcome you to this distance training programme in peacekeeping. We wish you well in your studies, and we wish you success as you work to bring peace and relief to troubled regions world-wide.
