The training programme covered five key topics:

- concerted and [joint inspections](/en/glossary/joint-inspections "inspection carried out in a Member State with the participation of the national authorities of one or more other Member States, and supported, where appropriate, by the European Labour Authority staff") in practice;
- international cooperation and information exchange;
- coordination of social security systems;
- EU legislation on posting of workers and enforcement, and;
- soft skills and trust-building between inspectors.

The training related to **labour mobility** and **social security coordination**. It had a practical approach which included training sessions on the tools and procedures used for planning, executing and following up on cross-border inspections.

The training programme concluded with a **simulated and practical road transport inspection** carried out at a parking lot in central Bratislava. The mock-inspection was designed to train the participants in **real life scenarios**. In addition, the participants had the opportunity to **exchange good practices** and share their experiences from different Member States and sectors.
