Spectrum Management Training Program

SMTP

10 July 2015, Nadi, Fiji 13

Addressed problem• Today there are no formal holistic SM education programs, except some ad hoc

commercial or public courses such as ITU BR seminars, USTTI• Large administrations train SM staff by seconding them to experienced workers,

but this offers narrowed vision and no formal quality check• Many smaller administrations, especially in developing countries, do not have even

such option, but must rely solely on ad hoc courses Solution• ITU established Spectrum Management Training Program:

– Unified course, offering students across the globe access to state-of-the-art holistic SM training and forward-looking professional vision

– Formalised assessment ensuring minimal quality of professional education– Certification to give international recognition, with possible option of

university credits/diplomaPilot• OM1 “Legal Basis and Regulatory Framework of Spectrum Management” – online,

English, December 2014 – January 2015
