Its overall objective is to contribute to the establishment of a level playing field across the European Union (EU) by providing a common basis to train the trainers and consequently officials involved in fisheries control operations. It was developed in cooperation with Member States and the European Commission through a specific validation process. The Core Curriculum for the trainers on fisheries inspection constitutes a common knowledge basis that was obtained after it was discussed, agreed and validated at the EU level. It is composed of a manual for the trainers and a handbook for trainees. First, the manual for the trainers contains comprehensive training guidelines, course objec‑ tive, case studies and worksheets. It aims at reducing the preparation work by the trainers and improving the effectiveness of the training by targeting the skills and competencies to be acquired by the trainee. The manual promotes common teaching methods for transmitting best practices, thus making possible the diffusion of a harmonised approach for fisher‑ ies control independently from the place where the course takes place or the education background of the trainee. Secondly, the handbook for the trainees presents core information and essential inspection techniques in support to the training course. It provides key explanations necessary to fulfil inspection tasks and successfully check and verify the application of the rules of the com‑ mon fisheries policy (CFP) by officials of public administrations involved in fisheries controls. By coordinating the updating of this common and shared knowledge, EFCA encourages better coordination, closer collaboration and the exchange of best practice that will be applied while coordinating regional joint deployment plans (JDPs). Training is a key aspect in this regard. EFCA would like to acknowledge the work of external experts, the Member States and the European Commission as members of the EFCA Working group and Steering group on train‑ ing and exchange of experience (TEE), and the Agency’s experts who largely contributed to the success of this publication.
