Methodology
This one-week course is comprised of modules (or themes) that complement each other in the understanding of the NATO C3 environment. Within each module, discrete subject topics may vary depending on the global security situation. Each day begins with a review of the information imparted the previous day. Each lecture ends with an interactive Q & A to enable students to develop and consolidate their understanding of the subject topic. Syndicate work and panel discussions are used to enable in-depth discussions with more than one lecturer, thereby allowing contrasting viewpoints to be aired. Unclassified course material (lecture notes) is available through the NSO eLearning Platform.
