In this article the authors present the new European requirements for operative training in the first part and in part II some experiences on the implementation of these operative figures into daily practice. The second part is based on the long personal experience of the two authors as well as the experience of the senior author with site visits in various neurosurgical departments all over Europe. Part III is giving some further ideas on the organization of surgical training with a set of structured hands-on-courses.
