L’école de formation de la Ligue nationale contre le cancer

The objective of the training school of the French National League Against Cancer is to offer competent and knowledgeable volunteers and staff with a structured training strategy that is motivating and represents a guarantee for donors and government authorities. The school focuses on obtaining high quality results, tailored to the needs and expectations of the departemental committees of the French League Against Cancer. The curriculum consists of 38 training modules: two general modules mandatory for all workers — including volunteers and employees, regardless of their responsibilities — and a series of specialized modules corresponding to the different technical skills and positions within the League. From its creation in September 2002 until November 2006, the school organized many sessions and trained a large number of trainees: 315 training sessions were organized and 4084 trainees participated. The instructors are selected based on their skills, knowledge and teaching abilities. When possible, the school makes every effort to decentralize the training sessions; 144 of 345 were held in different regions. The school’s ambition is to produce highly skilled personnel who will take their place among those dedicated to the fight against cancer.
