Course standards

  • Start with analysis of feedback from other existing trainings courses including non ECTEG ones.
  • List skills and competences addressed, describing links with TCF profiles whenever possible. Relevant certification process materials can be included as dedicated work package.
  • Use of standards provided by Europol, CEPOL, Eurojust, ENISA and ENFSI and, whenever possible, ECTEG existing materials.
  • Specify technical requirements and student’s pre-requisites.
  • Course aims and learning outcomes and  workload.
  • Deliver trainer manual based on ECTEG template.
  • Deliver student manual with presentations, exercises and exercises solutions  including a suggested roadmap of study.
  • Include as many practicals as possible, whenever possible e-learning part used for “theory” parts and include virtual machines and tools used for exercises in the deliverables.
  • Use of open source tools, or FREETOOL project deliverables and exclude exercises using commercial tools. However, reference to commercial tools is acceptable if there is no open source of FREETOOL alternative and this will never be used as marketing for the tool.
  • E-learning created on a modular way, so to be reused in other ECTEG projects.
  • Agree to host e-learning on the ECTEG web server, and to be shadowed on Europol and CEPOL web server.
  • Deliver skill assessment materials including solutions and marking scheme.
  • Agile projects excepted, deliver at least one pilot course (on site, e-learning)
  • Agree to invite LEA from EU MS to the pilot(s) and to provide attendees names to ECTEG.
  • Agree to provide experts and trainers names to ECTEG.
  • Agree that all developed materials may be used in other ECTEG projects.
  • Build curriculum modules as much possible as independent to allow later “agile” updates.
  • Deliver content in English in a way that making localisation is as easy as possible.
  • Allow involvement of CEPOL and EUROPOL and other ECTEG members in the organisation of pilots.
  • Include ECTEG logo and ecteg.eu link and “funded by EU Commission” on all materials and deliverables.
