Civil Military Co-operation Centre of Excellence

The Training & Education (T&E) Branch of the CCOE consists of trained and CIMIC experienced instructors from several NATO countries. They are responsible for the organisation and execution of all types / sorts of CIMIC courses. These courses will prepare students for CIMIC jobs and for their participation in missions.

All courses are using the NATO CIMIC doctrine and procedures as standard. Most courses are conducted in the CCOE facilities in Enschede. On request T&E frequently support sponsoring nations in executing CIMIC courses on their location. Also T&E can support other nations, using a mobile education and training team (METT) in conducting CIMIC courses on other locations as requested. For more information please see the detailed student guide and course program 2010.
