ECMWF has an extensive education and training programme to assist Member States and Co-operating States in the training of scientists in numerical weather forecasting, and in making use of the ECMWF computer facilities.

The training courses consist of modules which can be attended separately. A student may decide to attend the different modules in different years.

Training course on "Use of Computing Facilities"

In this course the use of ECMWF computing and archive facilities is introduced. This course is aimed at both current and potential users of the Centre’s facilities.

Training Courses on "Use and interpretation of ECMWF Products"

This course discusses the ECMWF products in operational weather forecasting available to the Member States. It is mainly aimed at forecasters or people with forecasting experience.

Use and interpretation of ECMWF Products for WMO Member States

A separate course on the use of ECMWF products is organised for participants from WMO National Meteorological and Hydrological Services which are not ECMWF Member States or Co-operating States.

Training Course on "Numerical weather prediction"

This course targets the various aspects of research on numerical weather prediction at ECMWF. It consists of four modules covering scientific training on numerics, physics, data assimilation and predictability.

Seminar

A one week series of lectures dedicated to one specific topic, given in the beginning of September. The subject is different every year. The proposed subject for 2012 is Seasonal prediction.
