Training Needs Must be a purpose for the training It has to be SMART People should not be asked to do things that they are not trained to do Competencies are more than process. Process is about the steps to take, competencies are about making decisions on when to take those steps.

2012 to 2015 WMO Training Priorities Provision of basic capacity to LDCs –Aviation forecaster training –Severe Weather Forecasting Climate Services –Disaster Risk Reduction –Food and Water Security

Education and Training Approach Basic Capacity –Fellowships –Distance learning courses Continuing Education and Training –Train-the-trainer –Use of e-learning –Partnerships

Can we dance together? Train-the-trainer course NWP Aviation Radar
