ITU Academy - eTrade for all

Launched in October 2012, the ITU Academy is an ITU capacity building initiative that gathers under one umbrella all existing ITU training services corresponding to the organization’s main areas of activity:

Radiocommunications
Telecommunications standardization
Telecommunications development

These cutting-edge training services are based on pedagogical, technological and technical expertise, organized by Categories and Region. To guarantee quality and innovation, ITU partners with various training providers (Centres of Excellence (CoEs), Internet Training Centres (ITCs) as well as academic institutions and the private sector. The programme is enhanced and nourished by the learning resources (annual expert publications), ICT Capacity Building Symposium (CBS) and ITU Regional Workshops on Internet Governance.

The courses are based on a personalized service approach offering multiple delivery channels (face-to-face, blended, self-paced and instructor led e-learning) as well as a follow-up with participants after completion of the programmes. Fees are applicable and depend on the course and the status of the participants. Each course is delivered in one specific language: English, French or Spanish.

At the end, the participants receive a Certificate of completion. Some of the courses, such as the ITU Spectrum Management Training Programme (SMTP) are awarded by prestigious labels. (e.g. the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (ZEvA) ).
