Cepol

CEPOL is an agency of the European Union responsible for developing, delivering, and coordinating the training of law enforcement officials.

CEPOL contributes to a safer Europe by facilitating cooperation and knowledge exchange among law enforcement officers from EU Member States and, to some extent, third countries, on issues stemming from the EU’s security priorities—particularly the EU Policy Cycle for organised crime.

CEPOL provides online support for all major learning and training services, primarily through its Learning Management System (LMS), and access is restricted exclusively to law enforcement personnel. Online support is provided for residential courses, online courses, exchange programmes, a European joint Master’s programme, online modules, webinars, communities of practice platforms, the Virtual Training Centre (VTC), and reporting.

CEPOL applies a multi-level approach to learning, which includes:

• Residential courses and seminars

• Webinars

• eLearning modules

• Bilateral exchanges through the Exchange Programme

• Research and scientific conferences

All activities are supported by e-Net, CEPOL’s online learning platform. Through e-Net, users have access to tools and resources that support and enhance the learning experience. The e-Net platform also hosts the e-Journals service, which provides registered users with access to international scientific journals related to police science and policing practices.

CEPOL’s activities offer opportunities to stay up to date with the latest international developments and trends in law enforcement, particularly regarding cross-border and serious international crime.

The project undertaken by WIDE Services involves providing services for the online support of courses (including preparation, instructional design and development, delivery, and evaluation), the online support of CEPOL’s training and learning activities for 2018, the online representation of courses, and operational services to optimise Moodle for CEPOL’s training services.
