Training credits

The EuFMD training programme is demand-led, taking into account trainee feedback and the
requests made by the EuFMD training focal points.

The overall objective of this training menu is to improve preparedness for management of FMD and
similar transboundary animal diseases (FAST diseases*) crises by EuFMD member nations and across
Europe as a whole.

The EuFMD training courses are practical, interactive and discussion-based. The courses make use
of virtual learning support to complement and support face-to-face training. The demand-led nature
of training means that the exact content of each course can be adapted, particularly in the case of
country-specific courses.

This training menu will be implemented from the beginning of 2022 until September 2023. Each
member nation will be allocated ten training credits. Member nations can decide how they want to
spend them, by selecting activities offered in the training menu that best suit their priorities. Please
consider that a minimum of two training credits must be allocated to activities delivered remotely
(online).

Some courses (particularly workshops) will be held if there is sufficient interest from member
nations and a suitable number of participants.

One of EuFMD’s priorities is to raise awareness of FAST disease prevention and control and to
promote collaboration between the private and public sectors. Therefore, a number of courses are
available to the private sector as self-funded places, subject to the candidate meeting the
requirements established for the specific course. Member nations can also access additional self-
funded places in the different courses.
For most courses, a prepared presentation is available on request if needed for cascade training.
Additionally, most course content may be used for cascade training, but the EuFMD must be asked
prior to use, and acknowledged.
Please contact us for any further information at EuFMD-Training@fao.org

* FAST diseases covered under EuFMD workplan include: foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), peste des
petit ruminants (PPR), lumpy skin disease (LSD), Sheep and Goat pox, Rift Valley fever (RVF) and
bovine ephemeral fever (BEF).
