UNODCs Global eLearning Programme delivers training courses designed to strengthen the capacity of Member States to better address diverse human security and health challenges such as wildlife crime, human trafficking, drug abuse, HIV, gender-based violence, as well as promoting justice, human rights and international cooperation. Our courses have been developed by leading subject matter experts and are aligned with United Nations standards and conventions. Training is delivered online, offline and on mobile platforms and is available 24/7 to all registered users.
The UNODC Global eLearning Programme offers courses in all UNODC mandate areas and enables UNODC to deliver training in a secure and cost-effective way. The UNODC Global eLearning platform offers a number of self-paced online modules that are open to the public and free of charge. In addition, our restricted area offers over 350 restricted modules reserved for officials of Member States, United Nations agencies, International Organizations and other institutions.
Our programme offers a unique range of eLearning training modules developed by subject matter experts and are based on United Nations standards, conventions and international best practices. Modules and courses, developed by UNODC staff and other leading international experts and covering all UNODC mandate areas, are hosted on a centralised learning management platform. Courses are customised in accordance with the learning environments, course topics and languages. Certificates of completion issued by UNODC are provided to learners who pass the training modules.
The eLearning platform is operational 24/7 and delivers online courses. Our public area provides a number of modules to the wider public. Courses are customised in accordance with the learning environments, course topics and languages.
The format of the multimedia content allows courses to be shared across the existing platforms of governmental agencies and international partners. Our learning management system can be integrated functioning inter-regional and inter-agency capacity building networks and training courses. This approach maximises our impact globally.
