Learning Platform

The SMART Partnership, in collaboration with the University for International Cooperation, has developed a series of free online training courses for SMART users. The overall objective of the courses is to build trainees’ capacity to use SMART technology to improve monitoring and management of Protected and Conserved Areas (PCAs).

Our online learning platform currently features three SMART courses and one French translated course – each taking approximately 40 hours to complete, with a certificate provided at the end of each course. The modules are designed to be accessible, modular, and interactive to meet the training needs of our growing user community.

To access our free online courses, select the link below. You will need to "create a new account" or sign-in after your account has been created. Once you have an account, you can access all SMART Courses through the same portal. For more information on the learning platform, you can visit our YouTube page and view our course webinar. You can look out for more courses in the future.
