TunisiaEUPOL COPPS Train of Trainers a key tool to equip Palestinian police with skills to deliver know-how
The Train of Trainers is a specialised training methodology aimed at forming proficient trainers within an organisation by applying certain models and methodologies. The ToT model reduces reliance on external trainers, saves costs, and enables organisations to cater training sessions to their specific needs. That is exactly why Captain Ali Karamiyeh from the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) Department of Information (DoI) joined EUPOL COPPS ToT course, on 27 August in Ramallah.
Five Palestinian police officers from the DoI attended the course, delivered by two EUPOL COPPS Police Advisers, from Germany and Canada, so that they could enhance their skills on ToT methodology and pass them on to their colleagues in other Palestinian districts. The two presenters provided hands-on learning techniques to the participants who played the role of a trainer during the one-day training session.
The Palestinian officers attending the course worked on several well-established models including the “SMART”, which mean that the goals to achieve should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, and the “GROW”, good for problem solving by looking at Goal, Reality, Obstacles (or Options), and Way forward.
Brigadier General Shehadeh Amer, Head of DoI said his team would pass the information on to other 31 DoI officers working in 11 West Bank districts. “My team was introduced to a new set of skills that is very useful to foster a culture of continuous learning and to empower trainers to deliver knowledge and skills to others effectively” Brigadier General Amer said.
“Two sessions are not enough to grasp all the skills of becoming a professional trainer, however it is a good start,” said captain Karamiyeh at the end of the course. EUPOL COPPS trainers answered by announcing that additional training sessions will soon follow, including in the districts.
