Training for Peace Partnerships
The Peace Operations Training Institute (POTI) educates students all over the world. We are able to cater to the needs of individual students, but we also can specialize our distance-learning courses and method of study to meet the training requirements of our partner organizations.
Our training has been designed so that it can be used to complement currently established training programmes used by third-party organizations.
Group licenses are available, and agreements can be customized to cater to virtually any training needs that you may have. The following is a sample of custom services we are happy to provide:
- Special reduced pricing that can be applied on a per student or per enrolment basis.
- Course completion certificates with your organization's logo appearing with our POTI logo.
- A subdomain with your organization's name with a special main index page.
- A virtual classroom displaying your organization's logo and special message for your organization's students.
- Access to our administrative portal, where designated representatives from your organization can monitor your students' progress and perform other administrative duties.
Are you interested in using our courses to complement your own training?
Our examinations typically have no time limit. Students may study the course material and complete courses at their own pace. However, we offer our partners the ability to establish timed examinations if desired.
If you are using our training to complement your own in-class training, proctors can be created so you can test your students all at the same time. Students will not be able to access their final examination until you let them.
Are your computer resources limited?
While our courses are typically completed online, we are aware that not everyone has access to a classroom full of computers. Course examinations are easy to print off for your students and can be graded from within our administrative portal.
