WTO eTraining Course for government officials

The WTO eTraining program is offering an online course for 52 government officials from developing countries from March 14 to April 22 2005 (six weeks). The course is entitled "3rd Introduction to the WTO and its Basic Principles" and will be held in Spanish.

The objective of the course is to familiarize participants with the World Trade Organization, the multilateral trading system and its legal framework.

eTraining courses are delivered through the Internet. They allow participants to interact with WTO tutors. The tutors follow participants' progress throughout the course and are always available for questions, clarification or discussion.

A similar course will be offered in French in April 2005.
