The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) is committed to improving the training offerings to address a wide range of aspects of the ever-developing cyber domain in order to enhance competence collectively.
Since 2010, the CCDCOE has trained 3750 students in order to enhance competence within the technical, legal, strategic, and operational cyber security domain and meet the training needs of the Centre’s Sponsoring Nations and Contributing Participants, as well as the whole North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
“Our training activities have been developed by subject-matter experts in cooperation with international organisation and industry to provide knowledge, methods, techniques, and best practices that empower the training audience to effectively cope with the current and emerging real-life cyber challenges,” said the Director of the CCDCOE Colonel Jaak Tarien.
Col Tarien added that with these training offerings, the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence continues its tradition of quality and advances its mission to enhance capability, cooperation and information sharing between NATO, its member nations, and its partners in cyber defence.
The programme for 2022 consists of 20 in-house/online courses – technical, legal and operational, 9 mobile courses, several e-Learning courses, two technical cyber exercises, a number of hands-on workshops and an annual conference.
For example, this year’s courses include:
