Linguapeace Europe

BBSI is a core partner in thecurrent Linguapeace EuropeProject, which is sponsored by theEuropean Commission. This project involves 13member institutions from 11 separate EU/NATOmember states. The aim of this project is to meetthose objectives of European Security and DefencePolicy that relate to conflict prevention and requirehigh language proficiency among Europeanpeacekeepers. One distinguishing feature ofLinguapeace Europe is that the project providesgraded materials for military language training, whichcan be utilised in realistic scenarios worldwide byexperienced military and police personnel involved inpeacekeeping operations. BBSI draws on theseimpressive materials for its training programmes.

BBSI utilises only MODLEB-approvedexaminers for testing purposesprovided by the University of

Westminster. The University has along-standing relationship with theBritish MOD in respect of languagetesting, is a prominent member ofMODLEB and has been the MODcontract partner for designing and

delivering language examinations inMilitary English at NATO STANAG

Levels SLP1, 2, 3 & 4. The Universityof Westminster has managed thatservice for nearly 10 years and hasutilised its experience with foreign-

language testing to design anddeliver a suite of monolingual Englishexaminations. All examination papersare approved by a MODLEB ‘setting

board’ within the MOD prior todelivery. This ensures that the

language levels set correspond to theNATO language descriptors and that

the content of each examinationreflects the current operational duties

of professional military personnel.These examinations are currently

used as the profiling mechanism forall students attending English-

language training as part of the UKDefence Diplomacy Policy scheme at

MOD-approved trainingestablishments. Examinations havealso been successfully calibratedagainst the Common European

Framework of Reference.

Police Training

Introduction

In association with a consortium of senior andexperienced British police trainers, BBSI offersprofessional international police training in thefields of Command & Control, Crime Investigation,Management and Forensic Science. Courses canbe conducted either in the UK or overseas, and aretailored to meet the precise requirements of theClient and to meet national police trainingstandards.

The BBSI police training services are structured toensure that participants receive focused,appropriate, nationally-recognised and practicaltraining, specifically relevant to their respectiveroles and responsibilities. Moreover, all courses aredesigned to enhance both the knowledge andpractical skills of the participants so as to improvetheir effectiveness and efficiency in an operationalenvironment.

Evaluation of our training is an essential andimportant element, which supports trainingdelivery. BBSI therefore also provides anindependent Evaluation Service that examines boththe effectiveness of individuals in the workplace,following a training programme, and also thesubsequent benefits to the sponsor organisation.

Client Needs Analysis

Often, prior to conducting large trainingprogrammes for overseas clients, our seniorspecialists are invited to conduct a needs analysisof local training requirements. Such a project cantake 7, 14 or 21 working days, depending on theprecise requirement; however, the results can saveconsiderable expenditure by targeting thesubsequent training offered effectively to meetspecific training needs.

Scope of a Needs Analysis. A Needs Analysis willexamine the current processes and facilitiesrelated to a specific specialisation and identify theprecise training requirements. The objective is todevelop knowledge of current professional practiceand compare the outcomes with the advancedlevels of knowledge within that specialisation thatis currently available internationally.

The Analysis Team will review and examine currentpractices within the target areas and makerecommendations to the Client in support ofstrategic plans to improve knowledge and skillswithin specific Force specialisations, enhanceoverall performance within those specialisationsand improve service delivery by the Force as awhole.

Advantages. The Analysis Team will be able toidentify precise training requirements and theClient will subsequently benefit from theadvantages of ‘bespoke’ training programmes,specially designed to meet local needs. Thismethod of approach is considered far moreefficient and cost effective than a client merelyaccepting generic ‘off-the-shelf’ training that mightbe of limited effectiveness. Additional benefitswould see more effective targeting in the future of

both training and Force resources so as to meetlocal ongoing requirements.

Methodology. Evaluation and examination isconducted by way of visits to the various targetdepartments within the Force and by means offocussed interviews with appropriate personnel,both individually and in groups. An Analysisexamines materials, equipment, facilities,administration, organisation, command and controlstructure, current policing strategies, otherbackground information et al.

Outcome. At the conclusion of a Needs Analysis,our specialists submit a written report to the Clientfor consideration. This report contains short,medium and long-term recommendations for futuretraining requirements, and includes course outlinesfor those training programmes recommended tomeet potential needs. Adoption of this process andthe open willingness to learn from the experienceof others will support future learning. Existing skillswill be enhanced and the ability to ‘benchmark’with other police forces, will be achievable. Theprocess would also support the view that all policetraining must stem from the same doctrine. Futuretraining would therefore become focussed andrelevant, and would inculcate the following values:openness, transparency, diversity, human rights,integrity, ethics, partnership, and respect by andfor the police force generally.
