Across Europe several EN.CPS organisations offer training courses with the aim of building up and strengthening civilian capacities for nonviolent peace interventions. On their own accounts, and through network co-operations, these organisations continuously work on raising quality standards for civilian peace work and for disseminating training expertise relevant for the establishment and implementation of Civil Peace Services. While training offers differ in format, length and contents, within EN.CPS network members have agreed on principles for training standards.

In addition, between 2005 and 2007 several EN.CPS organisations have participated in a partnership project called ARCA (Associations and Resources for Conflict Management Skills), funded through the EU Grundtvig programme. The aim of the ARCA project was to contribute to improving the quality, content and methodology of peace education and training in conflict transformation across Europe through the gathering of best practices, exchange of methods/curricula, development of resources and guides, and the establishment of a European-wide data-base of peace educators and peace education resources.

One of the main results of the ARCA project was the 68-page guide "Peace Training - Preparing Adults for Peacework and Nonviolent Intervention in Conflict". The guide and further results of this project can be found under http://www.peacetraining.org.
