- The schedule displays courses for the current year for this location. Click the drop down arrow to select the desired calendar: 2025 2026 2027.
- The online learning program (OL) is designed to complement and, in some cases, serve as a prerequisite for classroom training and technical assistance (TA).
- Participants may also take online courses as a stand-alone learning experience.
- OL courses facilitate blended training (self-paced online learning combined with live virtual or classroom courses) and microlearning that offers focused, bite-size learning resources.

### Course features and delivery
- OL courses feature a mix of instructional text, images, and high-quality video material interspersed with interactive assessments and hands-on exercises.
- A discussion forum allows course participants to network and discuss the course content.
- Some courses are time-bound with strict weekly deadlines on assigned activities; however, most courses are offered continuously throughout the year on a self-paced basis.
- A major advantage of the OL program is the ability to offer courses to all interested government officials regardless of agency, with no enrollment limits.
