A major focus of the IOCCG is to broaden the user community for ocean-colour data, particularly in developing countries, through the coordination and sponsoring of training courses and capacity-building activities.

The IOCCG has sponsored and coordinated a number of specialized ocean-colour training courses. These have provided comprehensive training to a large number of students from around 60 different countries. Courses are generally aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, university lecturers and researchers. See current opportunities below.
