International codification courses NCS College 2018 in Brno were completed on Friday 14 September by the students’ graduation from the Course for Codifiers. No less than hundred certificates have been already handed over to the graduates of the courses for managers, logisticians and codifiers. The great congratulations to the organizers of NCS College, the University of Defence together with the National Codification Bureau of the Czech Republic and the others participants, for their success.:-)

The 4th NCS College – International Course for Managers and Logisticians has been opened at the University of Defence in Brno, Czechia on Monday. The event is traditionally organized by the Faculty of Military Leadership of the University of Defence together with the National Codification Bureau of the Czech Republic. AURA is traditionally the General Partner of the NCS College , which generally supports this event via lecturers, organizational arrangements, and least but not last providing the information system MC CATALOGUE for practical training.

Let me cordially greet you on behalf of the NCS College team and inform you regarding organisation of NCS College 2018. This year’s NCS College, already the fourth one since 2012, is organized by the University of Defence in Brno and the National Codification Bureau of the Czech Republic with support of other Czech and foreign partners in Brno from 27 August to 14 September 2018. Like in the preceding years, the NCS College 2018 is divided into two courses: the 1-week Course for Managers & Logisticians held on 27 - 31 August 2018, and the 2-week Course for Codifiers held on 3 - 14 September 2018. Based on previous experience and feedback from our students the training will be focused on practical aspects of codification processes and will be carried out using real codification software. This conception of practical training, particularly in the Courses for Codifiers, fully complies with current requirements for effective preparation of codifiers.
