The Police College is helping Force members enhance the quality of their lives by developing an e-Learning courseware on "Healthy Lifestyle", which covers five main areas related to a person's well-being, including Physical Health, Psychological Health, Social Health, Spiritual Health and Financial Prudence.

Speaking of the e-Learning programme's special features, former Police College Director Robin Tse said: "Unlike those on other developed competency areas, which take the form of Train-the-Trainer approach and then incorporate training materials into training programmes, the module of 'Healthy Lifestyle' has been developed into an interactive and interesting e-learning courseware so that all Force members can gain access to learn via POINT at home or in office."

To encourage officers to make the most of this e-Learning courseware, every user who has successfully finished and passed a quiz can print a course certificate issued by the Learning Development Support Centre. Besides, the Police College and the Lingnan University, which have designed programme materials together, would further issue a "Certificate of Completion" to the first 200 officers who passed the quiz within the first two months after launching of the e-Learning courseware. Officers may run the courseware by entering the Learning Portal via POINT. As CLC Plus of the Civil Service Training Development Institute hosts the programme, Force members have to register as CLC Plus users first.

Apart from "Healthy Lifestyle", three more e-Learning programmes on "Understanding Problem Gambling", "Understanding Drinking Problems and Substance Abuse" and "Stress Management in Police Work" will also be introduced shortly.

"Healthy Lifestyle" is one of the psychological competency areas recently developed under the "Psychological Competency Training" project. Psychological Competency Training (PCT) is a three-year project jointly developed by the Police College and the Personnel Wing's Psychological Services Group, focusing on eight equally important competencies. Since 2004, five competency areas have been developed in partnership with local universities, namely "Conflict Management", "Victim Psychology", "Interpersonal Communication Skills", "Counselling Skills as a Police Supervisor/Colleague" and "Emotional Regulation".

Former Former Police College Director Robin Tse calls on Force members to make good use of the new e-Learning courseware
