Yesterday the teaching staff of the Police Centre for Induction
Training in Yerevan completed a training course, organized by the
OSCE Office.
The three-week course, delivered by two international experts,
focused on the concept of student-centered learning and was designed
to enhance existing didactical and training skills of police trainers
and methods of teaching.
"Student-centred learning is the best way of successfully
transferring knowledge to adults, and I am very happy to see that the
course students, who are all experienced trainers, picked it up so
well. The next step will be to have them develop the new curriculum
with help from our experts," said Carel Hofstra, the
Politico-Military Officer at the OSCE Office in Yerevan.
Peter Wilson, a police training expert from the UK, added: `The
participants acquired a range of new skills and abilities in the
presentation of training material. I am sure they will use these
abilities in their everyday work to further develop police training
in Armenia.'
The course was part of an OSCE-supported Police Assistance Programme,
which also includes strengthening the capacity of the Police Centre
for Induction Training. It followed the complete renovation and
re-equipment of the Centre, done this year with OSCE support.
