A Note from Executive Director Harvey Langholtz Greetings. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Peace Operations Training Institute and our 2011 catalogue of programmes and courses. The Peace Operations Training Institute offers self-paced distance learning on peacekeeping and related topics to students through open-enrolment, or through our programmes with UN Missions, national programmes, programmes with universities, NGOs, and others. Each month we provide approximately 10,000 enrolments worldwide, and our students study our materials at their own pace in Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. I invite you to look through this catalogue and to also browse our website for information on the opportunities for study that are available to you. Through the website, our students enrol, download their courses, view course videos, participate in discussions on our Facebook page and message board, have the opportunity to email with our distinguished course authors, take their exams, and download their Certificates of Completion. Our courses have been welcomed by the United Nations Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, and several of our courses have either been developed directly by UN Offices, or in consultation with the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations, Policy, Evaluation and Training Division, Peacekeeping Best Practices Section. I congratulate you on your dedication to international peace and peacekeeping, and I wish you well in your studies.

Relevant Courses

Global Students

The Peace Operations Training Institute offers 21 selfpaced distance learning courses on current topics in peace support, humanitarian relief, and security operations.

Our course authors are former Force Commanders, Military Advisors to DPKO, experienced peacekeepers, published authors, and scholars in the field, who develop our courses to accord with or exceed UN Training Guidance, as appropriate. We strive to continually evaluate and update our courses, developing them in conjunction with important global peacekeeping topics.

Students from over 170 nations have enrolled in courses from the Peace Operations Training Institute, both as individuals actively pursuing knowledge in the field of peacekeeping and as members of organizations integrating our courses into their own training programmes. These organizations include national ministries of defence, NGOs, IGOs, peacekeeping missions, and educational institutions, among others.

A list of current programmes offering this enrolment structure can be found on the following page.

Each course contains all needed reading and study materials, learning objectives, and self-scoring endof-lesson quizzes with answers provided, allowing the student to study at his or her own pace. After completing the quizzes at the end of each lesson, a student completes a unique 50-question multiple choice End-of-Course Examination. With a passing grade of 75%, students are awarded a Certificate of Completion for that course. If students fail the exam, they are provided one opportunity to take an alternate form of the exam.

Institutional Enrolment Programmes Integrated Distance Learning Programme (IDLP)

Programmes for Colleges and Model UN Participants

Many UN Missions subscribe to the IDLP, providing open enrolment to mission personnel. To see if your mission participates, contact your Mission Training Focal Point (TFP).

All university and college students, faculty, staff, and Model UN participants may enrol at a reduced tuition rate. This programme also gives universities worldwide the opportunity to offer our courses as supplemental reading or primary text material for undergraduate and graduate curricula, allowing interested scholars and Model UN participants the chance to study real-world training used by peacekeepers and UN mission staff.

Special Programmes for all Personnel Serving on UN Missions All personnel serving on UN missions, including International and National Staff, Military Observers, UN Police, UNVs, members of formed military units, and others are eligible for reduced-rate programmes designed specifically for them.

Distance Learning Programme for Nations (DLPN) Under the DLPN, POTI and national training programmes jointly provide POTI’s peacekeeping training courses to their military personnel at no cost to them. Customized websites for each participating nation are maintained by POTI, and a student’s Certificate of Completion shows both national and Peace Operations Training Institute certification. To see if your nation participates, contact your ministry of defence.

E-Learning for African Peacekeepers (ELAP) and Peacekeepers from Latin America and the Caribbean (ELPLAC) All military personnel, gendarmerie, and police who are citizens of African nations or the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean may enrol through ELAP or ELPLAC at no cost. In 2011, these regional programmes are made possible through the generous support of Australia, Canada, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the Francophonie.

Distance Learning Programme for Organizations (DLPO) A number of NGOs, IGOs, PVOs, and other organizations involved in peacekeeping have elected to train their employees through Peace Operations Training Institute courses. Employees of these organizations may enrol at no cost to them. POTI maintains customized institutional or organizational websites for every organization participating. Ask your organization whether they subscribe to this enrolment option. Individual NGO, IGO, or PVO personnel worldwide who are associated with an organization that does not subscribe to DLPO may still be elligible.

Upcoming Courses The Peace Operations Training Institute is very pleased to announce the imminent release of the new course Implementing Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) in Africa. This course, much like our newly released course, Implementing Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) in Latin America and the Caribbean, has regionally focused lessons that deal with this landmark resolution on women and peace and security.

In addition, POTI will be releasing Human Rights, authored by the University for Peace.

Upcoming Revised Editions POTI is also pleased to announce three upcoming course revisions. In the next months, revised editions of Commanding United Nations Peace Operations, An Introduction to the UN System: Orientation for Serving on a UN Field Mission, and Operational Logistical Support of UN Peacekeeping Missions: Intermediate Logistics Course.
