“The facilitators, lecturers, interns and staff truly made the course an exceptional learning experience. With skills honed in the theory and practice of Peace Operations, I am confident that I will operate more effectively on my next international posting. The course was all the more enriching given the friendships formed between the diverse group of participants, which came from 14 countries. Soccer and hockey matches, dancing, and plenty of good cheer made for a warm atmosphere outside the classroom.”

“Each day since leaving there has been a thought or memory from the course that has brought a smile to my lips. It is hard to believe that in 12 days you can make friends and experience lessons which will have an effect on you for years to come. I thank you and your staff for these excellent memories”

“I have felt the need to personally give my sincere greetings for the outstanding job that the facilitators, subject matter experts, the interns and the general staff of your Centre have done for me during the C-03 Course. So far, I am in touch with many of them, so now people from different countries who have been together just for two weeks in Canada are building the peacekeeping partnership”.

“You changed my life, while on the course I took a critical decision to continue with peacekeeping.”

“The PPC staff, lecturers, facilitators, interns and especially the Course Manager Major Luc-André Racine, have provided a unique atmosphere for a creative study and joint work of students from different races, cultures, religions and professional background.”

“I found the interactive activities and the interaction with the participants who come from a multinational background a huge learning experience. One thing in particular that I found very enjoyable is the background that all others come from. The feedback from those who served in the capacity as UN peacekeepers really hit home as well.”
