CEP Probation

22/01/2026

The CEP is pleased to inform its members that a new dedicated section has been developed on the CEP website featuring an interactive map of Europe.

This map identifies the institution responsible for the education and training of probation officers in each country and provides the corresponding contact details.

This initiative responds to the mandate of the CEP Expert Network on Education and Training in Probation and constitutes a concrete outcome of the network’s work during the last period.

The Judicial Training Dashboard
The European Training Platform (ETP) is a search tool for justice professionals. You can find self-learning materials on a great variety of EU law practice areas and related topics, as well as links to training providers' homepages and course catalogues.
Recognised training providers and partners inform potential trainees about their training activities and share high-quality self-learning materials on the ETP. The European Commission and EU agencies also contribute to the platform with ready-to-use self-learning materials or handbooks, also produced thanks to EU financial support.
