New name, same courses

UNITAR POCI is now the Peace Operations Training Institute. We are pleased to continue to provide all the same training courses on peacekeeping as we have done for the past fifteen years and as was recently welcomed by the United Nations Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (C34). Here is what you should know:

  • We still offer the same courses.
  • Your existing enrolments are still valid.
  • We are still accepting new enrolments under our new name.

We are working hard to make this a quick and smooth transition. In the meantime, you may continue to see the name “UNITAR POCI” in some places. Thank you for your support.
