Training

The establishment of the Mine action Information management Qualification (MIQ) scheme will make training delivered by the GICHD more effective, through greater standardisation of outcome competencies for each core information management role of a mine action programme. This new qualification, proposed by the GICHD, will establish formal prerequisites, learning objectives and role-based information management training courses.

The levels of qualification are divided into three groups:

E = Experts A = Administrators U = User

This standard will be gradually applied for the training conducted by the GICHD during 2011. The GICHD will conduct certification tests regularly in conjunction with trainings. Our long term aim is to provide these tests over the Internet.

Training for 2011 :

• Advanced A1 and A2 Level
  Geneva, September 19-30. In English. Contact Aurora Martinez and Lui H Halil Radogoshi
• A3 and Expert Level
  Geneva, October 24-November 4. In English. Contact Anne-Li Nauclér

The GICHD welcomes comments and suggestions for refinement during this launch phase and throughout the life of the scheme.
