Abstract: The future of training and education allows the rise-up of a new concept regarding
the possibility to make operational the skills needed for students as staff-officers. The new operational
environment, the budgetary constraints, the need of interoperability lead to the use of a new method,

methods and synergetic with them. This paper tries to highlight some directions to follow in order
to meet educational demands according to the national and Alliance’s standards.
