Goals

The goal of this online course is to help national and regional meteorological and hydrological trainers and training managers by increasing their knowledge and skills in planning, developing, delivering, assessing, and evaluating learning activities.

The course will provide a focus on developing skills in each of the WMO Competencies for Education and Training Providers.
