The World Health Organization (WHO) African regional training course for mid-level managers (MLM) of immunization programs launched in 2004, has undergone revisions across the years, to accommodate new developments in the field. In 2016, the WHO African regional office conducted a thorough review of the course materials and delivery methods to document lessons to help improve the course. Some of the gaps included inappropriate selection of trainees, inadequate focus on skills development, heavy reliance on text and presentations, as well as resource limitations to reach a critical mass of learners. The regional office worked with Bull City Learning to redesign the course materials along carefully crafted course objectives and curricula, and to assist facilitators to better deliver the course. In addition, the materials were converted into online learning tools. Within 10 months, a total of 3011 learners were enrolled in the online MLM training platform and earned a total of 9209 certificates. The MLM course will continue to be highly relevant as the immunization area of work expands significantly, with the addition of new vaccines, introduction of new technologies, and expanding opportunities for online learning.
世界卫生组织（世卫组织）于 2004 年启动了针对免疫规划中层管理人员（MLM）的非洲区域培训课程，多年来一直在不断修订，以适应该领域的新发展。2016 年，世卫组织非洲区域办事处对课程材料和交付方法进行了全面审查，以记录经验教训，帮助改进课程。一些差距包括：学员选择不当、技能发展关注不足、过度依赖文本和演示、以及资源有限，无法达到关键学习者人数。该区域办事处与 Bull City Learning 合作，按照精心制定的课程目标和课程重新设计课程材料，并协助培训师更好地交付课程。此外，这些材料已转换为在线学习工具。在 10 个月内，共有 3011 名学员注册了在线 MLM 培训平台，并获得了总共 9209 份证书。随着免疫工作领域的显著扩大，包括新疫苗的加入、新技术的引入以及在线学习机会的增加，MLM 课程将继续具有高度相关性。
