How to participate in a COI training.

Who can participate?

The training programme is developed for persons involved in procedures determining refugee status or other forms of international protection:

Blended Learning Courses consist of four weeks e-training course followed by a one day face-to-face training.

Pure E-Learning self-study courses are based on UNHCR's e-learning module on the role of COI in refugee status determination.

COI Workshops are tailored to the needs of the respective target groups and can take between half a day and two days.

For information on planned courses or any other questions related to COI Training, please contact us: training.accord@redcross.at
