The primary national partners benefiting from its outcomes are the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia (NSS) and its Border Guard Troops (BGT). Armenia’s border guard training and education system plays a central role in preparing personnel for professional, effective, and rights‑based border management. As Armenia seeks deeper alignment with European Union practices, it is essential that the training and educational system comply with Frontex standards, including the Common Core Curriculum (CCC), the Sectoral Qualification Framework (SQF), the Common Training Framework (CTF), fundamental rights and ethics standards, and the quality assurance principles for border guard education. The assessment focuses on evaluating the training and educational ecosystem and identifying gaps and opportunities for alignment with EU/Frontex frameworks.
