Comprehensive Core Course (CCC)

Ihre Aufgaben

The Comprehensive Core Course (CCC) (formerly CGTPO) prepares participants to work in UN, OSCE, and EU peace operations and forms part of the selection process for applicants to the ZIF Expert Pool. The course is based on the mission statement ZIF Civilian Expert Concept and builds the professional, personal, social, and methodological competencies required for successful work in a peace operation. Among other things, the focus is on the cooperation between the civilian, police and military components of a mission, which we also live through the mixed team of trainers. In addition, national mission members from EU, OSCE and UN peacekeeping missions as well as members of the police and the Bundeswehr participate in the course.

What makes this course special are the interactive, practical exercises based on a scenario that reflects mission reality. The course offers space for critical reflection on work in peace operations and promotes exchange between participants in the sense of peer learning.
