The OceanTeacher e-Learning Platform enables the sharing of standardised, quality training contents in a coordinated framework, whilst allowing the use of different languages as well as local/regional case studies. It is a comprehensive web-based training platform that supports classroom training (face-to-face), blended training (combining classroom and distance learning), and online (distance) learning.
Courses cover a range of topics related to the IOC programs, contributing to the IOC Mandate and the implementation of the IOC Capacity Development Strategy, enabling equitable participation of all IOC Member States and IOC Programs.
