What it does
WHO Academy provides health-sector learning through online, in-person and blended formats, with an online Learning Experience Platform.
Begin by matching the learning format to the task. WHO describes recorded classes, online courses and digital resources alongside programmes with classroom or practical components. A self-paced module can support background study, while a programme involving observed skills may need more than online reading. The Academy's competency-based approach focuses on applying knowledge and skills. Its broad health-workforce purpose is distinct from OpenWHO's emergency-resource library.
