ADPC offers a wide-range of training courses. Participants may choose to engage the organization’s annual regional flagship course, or a tailor-made course to suit specific needs or to gain an understanding of managing a specific hazard, for example, at the country-level. Additionally, at the country-level, ADPC provides technical assistance to standardize and deliver localized training courses.

ADPC also conducts trainings on behalf of other regional agencies, on request. In the past, ADPC has worked jointly with SAARC, ASEAN, USFS and Channel Research, for example.
