NATO UNCLASSIFIED / Releasable For Internet TransmissionForeword by the NCI AcademyDear Customer and Academy StakeholderAs the world around us continues to evolve, we strive to stay abreast of developing security challenges, tostay ahead of the game. Training and education is a critical method our Alliance has at its disposal to keepup with these challenges. The “Smart Training” the NCI Agency commits to requires a new approach, anevolution from the static hands-on classroom-training environment, to one that is more flexible, agile andadaptive.We are therefore truly honoured to walk you through the NCI Agency Command, Control,Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and Cyber TrainingCatalogue for 2021. This revised version reveals more than 200 course offerings of the NCI Agency,including courses organized by the NCI Agency, but provided by commercial parties. With the opening ofthe new NCI Academy flagship training delivery site in Oeiras, Portugal, from 2020 onward most courseswill be delivered by default in Portugal.This comprehensive catalogue covers in the entire spectrum of NATO-Specific C4ISR and Cyber training,including user, administrator and technical training, as well as managerially focussed courses for militaryand civilian staff working in more general Communications and Information Systems (CIS) posts. TheCatalogue also explains the procedure for seat allocation, the pricing policy and prices for many of thecourses. It includes for the first time course relationship diagrams that will show the students which pathsto take towards certain qualifications and competence levels.As you might expect from an agile and responsive organisation the Catalogue is a living document. It willbe dynamically adjusted to your needs and as the Agency accommodates the delivery of new systems,discontinues courses for systems being phased out, or as versions and changing customer requirementsevolve.We look forward to continue providing the best possible NATO C4ISR & Cyber Training to NATO and theNations.Sincerely,Dr Garry HargreavesNCI Academy DeanNCI Agency AcademyJean-Paul MassartNCI Academy Business Manager5BGen Luis CameloNCI Academy DirectorTraining Catalogue v5.0
NATO UNCLASSIFIED / Releasable For Internet TransmissionAbout the NCI AcademySupporting NATO’s digital endeavour: The NATO Communications and Information (NCI) Agency is NATO’s IT and Command,Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) provider, including cyberand missile defence. The NCI Agency is a key pillar of the NATO Secretary General’s ‘Smart Defence’ and ‘Connected Forces’initiatives, where supporting NATO operations is the top priority. In the coming years, the NCI Agency will roll out more than2 billion EUR worth of NATO technology investments in support of political and military decision-makers. Its wide-ranging ITModernization (ITM) programme will fundamentally reshape NATO’s cyber posture, embrace cloud computing, strengthenNATO-wide resilience, enhance information assurance, and increase the mobility and agility of the workforce, all in support ofNATO’s digital endeavour.The formation of the NCI Academyin September 2019 provides NATOwith a worldclass training capability tomaintain its technological advantage.The NCI Academy is accountablefor the provision of Education andTraining (E&T) services to NATOand the Nations. The NCI Academyprovides individual and collectivetraining on NATO Communications andInformation systems (C&I), including AirCommand and Control (AirC2), supportto the Military Training and ExerciseProgramme (MTEP) and assistanceto NATO and national Commandspreparing for NATO operations. Italso provides E&T services for internalAgency staff in support of professionaland personal development, and mission(post) specific requirements to ensurethat the Agency has the necessaryskills to meet customer requirements.The NCI Academy comprises around100 dedicated professionals in Agencylocations in the Netherlands, Belgium,Norway and Portugal.The newly-formed NCI Academyorganization started training operations at its new flagship training location in the new Agency campus in Oeiras, Portugal on2 September 2019.The NCI Academy applies the relevant NATO training policy and quality standards in order to achieve a coherent delivery ofE&T services across the different agency entities, locations and services.NCI Agency Academy6Training Catalogue v5.0
NATO UNCLASSIFIED / Releasable For Internet TransmissionHow to do Business with the NCI AcademyFollowing direction by the Nations through the NATO Resource Policy and Planning Board (RPPB), the NCI Academy is requiredto be fully customer funded from 2021 onwards. While requirements planning remains the crucial factor of future educationand individual training funding and delivery, the process needs to be supported by a more flexible and responsive instrumentin the delivery phase to enable fulfilment in accordance with priorities that may change in the course of year.To this end, the NCI Academy has developed the Service Support Training (SST) Package. The aim of the SST is to providerequired funding and delivery flexibility for both the customer and provider and to streamline the delivery managementbetween the customer and provider at the lowest eligible decision-making level (usually the national/organisational TrainingCoordinator and the NCI Academy Business Planning Team). The SST Package is a type of agreement that is both costreimbursable and easily amendable and compliant with the regular Customer Request Form and Price Proposal process usedby the NCI Agency. The SST Package covers the yearly training requirements as envisioned at initiation, but allows for in-yearchanges by mutual agreement in types and quantity of courses within the financial scope of the SST Package. Correspondinginvoices are sent quarterly for the actual usage of the training, based on standard catalogue course prices. Actual deliveryof the courses is dependent on having sufficient students for each specific course and on availability of resources. Dates ofcourses are not part of the SST Package; these are scheduled through the on-line LMS for course seats and through task ordersfor local course iterations (Mobile Training Teams). Deviations from course types and numbers of seats/local iterations withinthe budget and timeline of the SST Package may be made by mutual agreement without amending the SST Package.Each SST Package stipulates the requirement for the customer to provide a single Training Coordinator with authority tocommit students to training and act as the general focal point for that customer. Once an SST Package is signed, furthercoordination of the training requests and communication on NCI Agency courses takes place with the local TrainingCoordinators. Customers are requested to notify the NCI Academy at [email protected] if there is any change to thenames and e-mail addresses of their training coordinators.The NCI Academy follows an annual cycle, starting in the second quarter of the year prior to the year of training delivery,where a letter will be sent along with a preliminary pricing sheet inviting customers to develop their training requirementsfor the following year. This is known as the ‘bidding letter’ and this early engagement allows customers to make their budgetsubmissions with reasonably accurate pricing information. In the following months, the customers refine their requirementswhile the NCI Academy refines its course offering and prices for the following year, culminating the formalisation of theprocess through the submission of a NCI Agency Customer Request Form and the subsequent development of the SSTPackage. It is expected that all SST Packages will be signed in the fourth quarter, ready to commence training in January of thefollowing year. Further details on the Annual Training Request Process can be found at Annex 3.Training will be provided at one of the NCI Academy training facilities, by remote learning or locally on-site at the requestingunit by a Mobile Training Team. The NCI Academy training facilities include: NCI Academy site in Oeiras (PRT); NCI Academy element in Mons (BEL); NCI Academy element in The Hague (NLD).NCI Agency Academy7Training Catalogue v5.0
NATO UNCLASSIFIED / Releasable For Internet TransmissionCatalogue version controlThe NCI Academy C4ISR and Cyber Catalogue is under constant review and customers are advised to check regularly with themost recent and up-to-date version, which is published at www.ncia.nato.int/training.In addition, as part of the annual cycle, in the second quarter, the NCI Academy conducts a comprehensive review of thecatalogue for the following year including courses to be retired and new courses in the pipeline.PrioritizationThe NCI Academy will prioritize training provision in accordance with the following list: Priority 1: Students directly supporting NATO operations. Priority 2: Students directly supporting NATO exercises and NATO Response Force (NRF) rotation cycle.

Priority 4: Students in support of NATO staff’s professional development/National staff requirements. Priority 5: All other students.Education and Training ConferenceThe NCI Academy holds an annual Education and Training Conference, which is an important part of the planning cycle. Theconference is a forum that brings together the training community in NATO, Nations and the NATO Force Structure with NCIAgency training providers in the areas of CIS, C4ISR and cyber. The conference will address individual training evolution andtrends, policy and guidance updates, collective training support tools and act as a networking event between the TrainingCoordinators and the NCI Academy.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED / Releasable For Internet TransmissionAnnex 2: NCI Academy Catalogue 2021 changesIntroductionIn 2013, the NATO Resource Policy and Planning Board (RPPB) decided that the C4ISR and cyber training provided by the NCIAcademy would be fully customer-funded and this decision will be implemented in 2021. Consequently, the spare seats onthe Allied Command Operations Centralized Service Level Agreement (ACO CSLA) courses, which had previously been utilizedby NATO Nations and the NATO Force Structure (NFS) at no cost, will have to be paid for.Changes: Wider use of the SST package; Terminology – an SST package is simply a Price Proposal (PP) triggered by CRF; Relationship – a signed SST package creates a direct link between the customers’ training coordinators and the NCIAcademy; Flexibility – while the customer is still required to validate the initial requirements and budget, the courses listed in theSST package can be changed in-year by mutual agreement, and the overall cost of the SST package can be increasedor decreased according to customer request. This not only enables the customer to change training courses and thenumber of attendees, but also to more easily shift from commercial to NCI Agency-provided training and vice versa. Change process – for any in-year increase to the overall cost of the SST package, a contractual amendment is required,and an additional 3,000 EUR of Agreement Management Cost will be charged on the next invoice. Newsletter - A newsletter which summarizes key news and announcements of the NCI Academy, will be sent on afrequent basis to all training coordinators. This newsletter is intended to inform all training coordinators of our NCIAcademy customers.Not changing: Annual basis – SSTs will be annual agreements signed by both parties; Training cost – non-CSLA courses will continue to have a standardized cost associated with them, as per the catalogue; CRFs – customer will continue to submit CRFs to formally request user training services, and to request in-year increasesto scope of SSTs; Training Coordinator – customer is required to provide a single Training Coordinator who has the mandate to commitseats and local course iterations (MTTs) within the financial scope of the SST package on behalf of the organization; Prerequisites – students are expected to meet the prerequisites for the courses attended as specified in the NCI Agencycatalogue, including security clearance and language proficiency. The NCI Agency can request proof of meeting theprerequisites. In case the prerequisites are not met, the NCI Agency has the right to deny or discontinue the provisionof the course without reimbursement. Most courses have fixed prices as listed in Annex 4. All courses (those at Agency sites and MTTs) will undergo a viability check prior to the course finally being confirmed.There are many factors involved in the viability check, most notably the attendance must reach the minimum numberof students as detailed in the course description. Course commitments and cancellations – the customer can cancel students’ participation on the LearningManagement System before the course ‘turn back date’ without being charged. Unless specified otherwise, the‘turn back date’ is six weeks prior to the start of the course. After the ‘turn back date’, the customer will be allowed totransfer the seat to another student within its organization, provided the new student also meets the prerequisites forNCI Agency Academy11Training Catalogue v5.0

Reporting – the NCI Academy will provide a quarterly report on training delivered, with metrics, along with thequarterly invoice. The quarterly report contain the following elements: Delivered Seats, Course ID/Title, Iteration ID,Dates, Location, Evaluation, Cost, No-shows and Late turned-back information.Course numbering explanation11 0xxx ID series – Cyber, Communications, IT infrastructure and some Functional Applications System (FAS) training 1xxx ID series – Air and Missile Defence Command and Control (AMDC2) training 2xxx ID series – Command and Control (C2) and Microsoft Office training 3xxx ID series – Commercial (outsourced) CIS & cyber-related training 4xxx ID series – Voluntary National Contribution (CIS training) 5xxx ID series – Military Training and Exercise Programme (MTEP) support training 9xxx ID series – Functional Applications System (FAS) trainingCatalogue and lists are sorted by course number.NCI Agency Academy12Training Catalogue v5.0
