Frontex trains new border guards online
By EUobserver
The EU's border agency, Frontex, is in the process of training 265 new border guards, to be deployed in January next year. "They started their e-learning phase, so this is a three-month e-learning phase and then they will attend physical training," said Frontex head Fabrice Leggeri. The recruits are part of the agency's new standing corps, which may reach 10,000 personnel.
