During the first three days of training, instructors from participating countries provided general theoretical knowledge on U.N. peacekeeping operations and guided the three groups of military observers, engineers, and medical personnel with essential skills, including communication via radios and medical first aid.

Currently, CEPPP organizers are conducting specialized and in-depth training activities for the three groups. According to the plan, from September 18 to 20, they will engage in integrated exercises on a simulated training ground to practice coordinated activities while carrying out duties at U.N. peacekeeping missions.
