In 2021, CMC Finland is organising two Basic Courses on Civilian Crisis Management: (1) 11th – 22nd March and (2) 2nd – 13th September. The course provides participants with the basic knowledge and skills required when working on an international peace mission. It also improves their understanding of the minimum behavioural field requirements when working as a team member of an international field operation, irrespective of their national or professional background. A sample course program is available in this link. The course also includes the ENTRi certified Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT), which is an intensive four-day module aimed at training professionals to effectively deal with high-risk and emergency situations while deployed in hostile environments abroad. HEAT is a prerequisite for high risk missions.
Target audience: The course is open to both Finnish and international professionals.
