The course aims to enable participants to achieve a Common European Framework of References for languages (CEFR) to the level of B1 - independent user, in Police English Language.
The specific objectives for participants of this course are:
- To have the ability, in accordance with CEFR, to express themselves briefly in familiar situations and to deal in a general way with non-routine information:
- To enrich their Police English Language vocabulary and use it appropriately in situations where police specific terminology is required.
- To practice cooperation on a European level, which they can later on utilise in cross-border communication.
The course is scheduled to take place in the period of 15 March – 7 May 2021. The curriculum content will focus on online self-paced, as well as, trainer guided activities and related assignments.
Reading, speaking, writing and listening skills will be practiced in the context of the abovementioned topics.
The content of the course will be presented in CEPOL's virtual learning environment where participants will engage in activities extending and practising their Police English Language skills.
Participants are expected to study around 12-15 hour per week in order to be able to achieve the aim. This course is fully flexible and learners can progress along the weekly activities at their own pace, however sometimes they are offered to attend real time sessions with the trainers and must submit certain assignments on time. Participants should follow the course continuously, preferably on a daily basis.

In case you are interested to participate, please contact your local CEPOL National Unit / CEPOL National Contact Point at your earliest convenience to receive detailed information on the application process.
