UN Institute for Training and Research

Programme of Correspondence Instruction

UNITAR POCI (UN Institute for Training and Research - Programme of Correspondence Instruction)

Objectives: United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) offers 16 different distance-learning courses in UN peacekeeping. Five more courses are planned for 2002. These courses can be taken individually or combined into a "Certificate-of-Training in United Nations Peace Support Operations".

The certificate programme is offered through a consortium that includes The United Nations Institute For Training and Research Programme of Correspondence Instruction (UNITAR POCI), The United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations, and several world-known universities and peacekeeping training centres. The certificate-granting programme of study integrates classroom training with the self-paced correspondence courses offered by UNITAR POCI. In addition, completion of the programme requires the student to submit an original written research thesis on an approved aspect of peacekeeping. The programme is conducted at a college level but it is not intended to be a degree-granting academic programme. Completion of the programme results in a professional Certificate-of-Training in Peace Support Operations, not an academic degree.
