Courses run by CEPC and COE

The Civil Emergency Planning Committee (CEPC) is the top NATO advisory body for the protection of civilian populations and the use of civil resources in support of NATO’s objectives. It is part of Civil Protection Group (CPG) under Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC).

Civil Emergency Planning provides NATO with essential civilian expertise and capabilities in the fields of terrorism preparedness and consequence management, humanitarian and disaster response and protecting critical infrastructure.

The CEPC coordinates planning in several areas, to ensure – when necessary - civil support for the Alliance’s military operations or support for national authorities in civil emergencies. The committee has for example developed a plan for improving the civil preparedness of NATO and Partner countries against terrorist attacks. In September 2011, a team of civil experts visited Ukraine to advice on preparedness issues for the Euro 2012 football championship. The CEPC also supports the development of NATO cyber capabilities through the provision of advisory expertise and with support for training. The CEPC assists with issues related to energy security, in particular the protection of critical infrastructure, through the exchange of experience and best practice between nations. In the field of missile defence, the CEPC has addressed issues relating to the consequences of intercept for the protection of civil populations.

3. ADL COURSES

Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) is a mix of interactivity, resources and structured learning activities provided via internet 24/7. In other words, it is an anytime, anyplace supply of training, using interactive content. Benefits of ADL include increased flexibility, low cost, increased reach of audience, and finally maximized value of learning and portability.

ADL courses are an additional tool that JCBRND COE provides, especially designed as pre-learning for trainees with none or limited previous experience in CBRN Defence. JCBRND COE presently develops two ADL courses - Pre-Learning for the Introduction to the International CBRN Training Curriculum Course and W&R procedures course – refresher. This number will increase in the future.
