| Training Materials Development Update |
Update on the Core Pre-Deployment Training Materials for all UN Peacekeepers
In early October 2024, the Integrated Training Service (ITS) held a pilot course on the Core Pre-Deployment Training Materials (CPTM) at the UN Regional Service Centre Entebbe (RSCE). The CPTM contains the foundational knowledge required by all UN personnel serving in peacekeeping operations and is required for UN pre-deployment training of all UN personnel: military, police, and civilians. The updated CPTM was validated by Member States in a workshop in June 2024 and includes 34 lessons with supporting materials. The lessons have been grouped based on content and learning support materials have been enhanced to better assist the trainer. The 2024 CPTM will be available for download on the UN Peacekeeping Resource Hub in early 2025. Rollout to troop- and police-contributing countries will begin in the first half of 2025 with training of trainers sessions organized for countries from the Africa and Asia and Pacific regions. The call for nominations information is available below.
Review of the UN Infantry Battalions Specialized Training Materials
ITS is currently updating the UN Infantry Battalion (UNIBAT) specialized training material (STM) in cooperation with the Office of Military Affairs (OMA). The UNIBAT STM aims to provide TCCs with a comprehensive training package for infantry battalions and companies as well as other UN military units with infantry capabilities. The updated UNIBAT STM is expected to be available on the Peacekeeping Resource Hub in March 2025.
Review of the UN Staff Officers Specialized Training Materials
ITS is reviewing the UN Staff Officers (UNSO) specialized training materials (STM) and has completed two review workshops and one pilot workshop with Member State and UN experts. The UNSO STM review will update the knowledge and skills required by military staff officers to function effectively in a Force HQ and Sector HQ. The review is moving into its final stage, and the new material is expected to be published in the first half of 2025.
