Education & Training in Nuclear Installation Safety
The IAEA is assisting Member States to develop sustainable systems to maintain technical competence in nuclear safety. The following is the structure established in the IAEA's nuclear safety programme to address these current safety issues.

Integrated Strategy
Complementary to its training courses and workshops, the Division of Nuclear Installation Safety (NSNI) is concentrating its efforts on assisting Member States to establish national sustainable education and training programs that are in line with international safety standards. An essential element of this effort is the development of model type training material for use by lecturers and students and to train the trainers who will ultimately implement the national programs in a harmonized way. The strategy is described in terms of vision, objectives and outputs and activities required for implementation. More
Framework for Implementation
The framework to implement the education and training program in nuclear safety was established considering the areas of competency on which training is to be focused and the level of detail to be pursued by the training as well as the target groups to which training in a particular area should be primarily directed.

Identification of Member State Needs
The Agency now offers a review and advisory service on education and training for nuclear safety. At the request of a Member State, this service will provide an evaluation of the State's education and training programmes relevant to safety and advice on strengthening them. The first such missions were conducted during 2002 to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Guidelines for this service are being developed and include an element on self-assessment by the counterpart in the Member State. More
