PREFACE I welcome you to the new edition of Turkish Partnership for Peace Training Center course catalogue. The Turkish Partnership for Peace Training Center was inaugurated on 29 June 1998 and has the honor of being the first recognized (recognized in 1999) partnership training center by NATO. In its 16 years of history, PTC TUR has provided an extensive support to NATO partnership initiatives and further has contributed significantly to the enhancement of partnership spirit and military cooperation efforts in accordance with the Turkish General Staff and NATO principals and priorities. PTC TUR continues to be a meeting point for NATO, NATO Partners and other UN members. We have reached up to a total of 14.983 military and civilian participants from 92 different countries through the successful conduct of 404 resident courses, 14 seminars and 67 mobile training activities so far. As a justification of our quality approach PTC TUR has been awarded with NATO Quality Assurance Unconditional Accreditation Certificate as of 17 January 2014 which is effective until 17 January 2020. With the awarded Quality Assurance Accreditation, it has been assured that PTC TUR s organizational process and procedures meet the education and training quality assurance standarts developed by NATO. Feedbacks from participants showed us, the increasing interest respected to our center in the recent years, which leads to the creation of new cooperations, has been a challenge but an organizational pride as well. As the customer satisfaction is of highest priority for our organization, we are working closely with our national and international partners in order to meet the demands at the greatest extent. In this respect, we have planned 20 resident courses, four of them will be conducted for the first time in this year, and 3 mobile training activities for 2016. PTC-TUR also provides instructor support by sending individual instructors to national and international training centers. The staff of the PTC TUR are dedicated to provide our participants qualitative training and education with a team of highly qualified experts, lecturers, instructors and prominent guest speakers from national and international military/civilian organizations and universities. Our participants will also find the opportunity of taking part in field trainings at different military units in Turkey. There will be visits to military and governmental organizations at some courses. As a result of good cooperation, some of the civil universities send students to our center as a part of their master s programe. Besides the education and training activities, our participants will be offered to participate in special tours to unique historical and cultural places. I believe that activities planned for 2016 will help enhancing NATO s partnership spirit and contribute to the regional and global peace. I would like to express my appreciation for your interest and look forward to seeing you in Turkish Partnership for Peace Training Center. İlyas BİLGİŞ Colonel Commandant, PTC-TUR 4
