European Prison Officers for the 21st Century
Description
The Prison Officer Training Programme proposal presents a Vocational Educational Training course with a modular structure comprising 28 modules, totalling 1254h hours, divided into 627 hours of theory and 627h of practice.
The flexibility of this modular structure allows for its application according to the needs of each context. Hence, it can be used in its complete format as a comprehensive initial training course for prison officer recruits. It can also be used in continuous training by choosing which modules cover the topics of interest. It can also be integrated into an existing training plan or include additional training modules. Thus, the modules can be organised according to flexible training paths depending on the objectives of the training systems.
