FAQ

  • Who can benefit from DCI Group training courses?

    The DCI Group’s training courses are operational courses intended mainly for armed forces, government agencies or strategic companies. They are not open to civilians wishing to train individually, with some exceptions.

  • What training courses are available on this portal?

    Currently, five product lines offer their training through this portal: air safety, airspace control, electronic warfare, UAVs and Defense Acquisition. The portal will soon provide access to training courses for other product lines.

  • How do I register for a course?

    It is recommended that the person in charge of training for a unit, department or official agency carries out the online registration process and opens an associated account on the portal. He or she will then be able to make registration requests for one or more trainees under his or her responsibility via his or her account. Confirmation of course registration may require additional exchanges and authorizations. It will therefore only be effective once this process has been completed.

  • What is the schedule for future training sessions?

    Upcoming training dates are usually indicated on the course sheets when they have already been scheduled and places are still available. If no dates are indicated, we recommend that you contact the training center to find out more. Training courses can also be organized on request, depending on specific needs and trainee volumes.
