From 28 September to 02 October, the JALLC ran the second JALLC Analyst Training Course (JATC) of 2015. 11 participants, including a number of non-JALLC students hailing from as far afield as Australia and Canada and some of the JALLC's newly recruited civilian analysts, joined the JALLC's instructors for a week of intensive learning

The JATC is a five-day course which is held twice a year at the JALLC in Monsanto, Lisbon, Portugal. Participants are led through a wide range of issues and topics related to the conduct of analysis at the JALLC. The course covers all stages of the JALLC Project Approach (JPA) and includes lectures and practical group assignments which give the students a chance to practice the knowledge they gained during the lectures. The course also includes training on how to organize findings into a written product.
