LIMITED Frontex European course for CIRAM risk analysts Why an EU course for CIRAM risk analysis? The idea of a European Course for CIRAM risk analysis appeared in the sec- ond part of 2016 following requests of several EU MS addressed to the Frontex Training Unit and the Frontex Risk Analysis Unit to take the initiative in organ- ising joint training sessions for risk analysts, CIRAM based. Frontex Training Unit invited EU MSs experts to join a meeting in Warsaw, May 2016. During the meeting, attending experts embraced the idea of a joint certification system under the umbrella of Frontex, based on Sectorial Quali- fication Framework, aiming to harmonise the profile, competences and even- tually the practices in the field of risk analysis at European level, fostering the implementation and use of CIRAM and promoting a smooth European coop- eration in border management-related risk analysis. This decision paved the way to the first European Course for CIRAM risk analysts. EU certification What is a CIRAM risk analyst? Without a common answer to such question, any discussion about EU certification of CIRAM risk analysts has no substance. During the initial discussions with EU MSs experts, in May 2016, the word ‘op- erator’ – proposed to be used, raised concerns due to the fact, in common lan- guage, ‘operator’ is connected to the picture of persons operating a machine/ equipment. However, in the context of CIRAM, the risk analyst is not a person who operates a certain machine but a fully specialised member of staff with a high degree of independence and analytical thinking, performing professional tasks based on the Common Integrated Risk Analysis Model within the scope of Integrated Border Management. 6

LIMITED Joint development A European course can only be the outcome of a common development at European level, involving EU Member States experts, discussing, drafting and agreeing on every sentence and sequence of the course framework and con- tent. In this specific case, as the topic was border management related, the process was coordinated by Frontex. A valid joint development process even- tually requires the common agreement of a significant pool of experts from a representative number of Member States including on the recognition of the qualification (s) gained after graduating from the course. Joint training Joint training means that learners from EU Member States are joining a cen- tralised training session, having the chance to interact, discuss, debate and clarify the topics until they reach a common understanding. They do not only receive knowledge but they build common knowledge during the course. Even- tually, such group reaches maturity when the capability to smoothly cooperate while performing common procedures is proven. Common training means also that the training team was trained at EU level (in this case under the patron- age of Frontex). In fact, trainers were a priori involved in project development. The training team is representative for the target group (highly specialised in course subjects) and legitimate (large experience in the field and represent- ing EU MSs border management agencies). Joint assessment For a professional competence to be recognised at EU level, beside the need to have the documentation in place in line with existing requirements, it must be assessed and certified by a European team of evaluators. The team must fol- low common assessment rules, practices, templates, to make sure the quality assurance mechanisms are in place and followed. Transparency of the certifi- cation process is part of the quality assurance. Ideally, the members of the as- sessment team must be different to the members of the training team. 7
