About Us

Mission

Our Belief

We understand the criticality of education and encourage the further studies by African officers and NCOs alike.

As Thucydides in his History of the Peloponnesian War (ca 410 BCE) cautioned us: “The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.”

Education and knowledge is an important element for both professional career development and strategic, operational and tactical understanding.

However, not every officer and/or NCO can travel abroad to receive foreign training.

It is also increasingly costly and time consuming for African armed forces to send officers and NCOs to foreign countries for advanced military study programmes.

EO Learning presents a dedicated, Africa-centric, online study programme that was developed by internationally recognised academics and practitioners to provide sound, relevant and topical theoretical distance, online education to African officers and NCOs.

The programme is open to intelligence, law enforcement and military personnel, along with diplomatic staff, African scholars and other interested parties.
