International Plant Protection Convention e-learning Courses
(excerpt from a recent International Phytosanitary Portal news
article - https://www.ippc.int/en/news/spotlight-ippc-e-learning-
courses/ )
NAPPO stakeholders, please take note -
the International Plant Protection
Convention (IPPC) Secretariat and its
partners have developed e-learning
courses designed to enhance the capacity
of staff from national plant protection
organizations (NPPO). IPPC e-learning
courses are free of charge and provide up
to date online/remote training tools.
Courses are self-paced but can also be
tutor-led. NPPO staff will find practical, and
easy to understand guidance to help them improve their phytosanitary systems and effectively
implement the Convention and its International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). Upon
completing a course, learners receive a digital certificate which they can add to their resume or to
boost their LinkedIn profile. The platform with the link to all the IPPC e-learning courses is here -
