Successful training of trainers in the United Arab Emirates

From 3 to 7 November 2019, INSTN conducted a train-the-trainers course for the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR), the United Arab Emirates Security Authority. FANR requested the support of INSTN to develop the skills of its internal trainers as part of an action aimed at internalizing part of the training activity.

INSTN has developed a solution using the SAT approach and drawing on the experience of the training of trainers already carried out for the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) or as a part of the ENETRAP project (European Network for Education and Training in Radiation Protection). Specific case studies have been developed to adapt the training to the FANR context. The prior learning assessment system implemented made it possible to assess the knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills of participants whose productions were generally very satisfactory. FANR decided to recognize INSTN training as a certification for its internal trainers. This recognition attests to the quality and relevance of the service deployed.

This is a very encouraging element in the development of advisory and support services, of which the training of trainers will play an important role. The requests are recurrent and the INSTN thus capitalizes on real know-how and good references.
