IT classrooms in six Montenegrin towns will be equipped with internet, learning software, online courses and resources, books and audio & video learning materials to supplement face-to-face courses and to stimulate guided independent study of English. 

In order to ensure consistent quality of provision of English training across different departments, the project will create a comprehensive database of all personnel with a history of prior learning and further training needs based on individuals surveys and analysis of each post. All staff will be tested by Aptis, a comprehensive online test developed by the British Council, in order to determine present levels of English. The main library and IT classrooms will be equipped with new collections of course books, teaching resources and multi-media learning materials. MoD instructors will produce customised curricula for A1-B2 levels, applying communicative approach and using authentic materials and technology.
