Courses
Defence & Security Management l Management of Multinational Peace Missions l Security Sector Governance l Parliamentary Oversight of Defence & Security
The SADSEM network offers two types of training courses in four subjects, organised in partnership with SADC governments.
The four subjects are:
- Defence and Security Management
- Management of Multinational Peace Missions
- Security Sector Governance
- Parliamentary Oversight of Defence and Security
The two types of courses are:
Certificate courses leading to a certificate of competence. These run for three to five weeks. These courses are presented in Johannesburg, and participants are drawn from all over the region. Participants are assessed on the basis of group presentations, individual assignments, and written examinations.
Executive courses of two to ten days, presented in all SADC member states. Participants are not assessed.
The network is also developing a series of masters degrees in security sector management, to be offered by network partners. An interactive and participatory approach to teaching and learning is followed. Extensive use is made of case studies and simulations.
Participants work in groups, which enable them to share experiences and deal with real management problems. The learning process is structured to enable participants to become more confident about expressing and exploring their own ideas, and draw upon their own experiences.
Lecturers include academics from network partners, African and international experts, and practitioners of defence and security governance and management.
