The FAO Virtual Learning Centers (VLCs) are virtual hubs established to develop and improve One Health capacities in all FAO regions. Their mission is to provide trainees with access to inclusive, engaging and high-quality training using a variety of methodologies. The VLCs’ training courses target country actors in the areas related to FAO’s One Health mandate, including government officials and technical staff, programme and project coordinators, practitioners and professionals working in the field, such as veterinarians, animal health workers, experts in forestry, wildlife, aquaculture and fisheries, in addition to public health experts. The VLCs follow a decentralized model that empowers FAO regions to develop and deliver courses that closely consider regional needs and context. This model also makes it possible to scale up the delivery of courses and share resources and good practices between VLCs. This brochure outlines the VLCs and the activities of the six regional VLCs.

The document is intended for in-service training programmes only and does not necessarily apply to preservice training programmes, which typically involve more didactic learning and limited field experiences. While the focus of the document is to support One Health field epidemiology training programmes, this guidance depends heavily on practices from existing primarily sector specific programmes and therefore may also be applicable for other types of FETPs.
