SEAMEO VOCTECH also offers In-Country, Customised and Special Training Programmes. The List of Themes, please see page 28 can be used for any proposed training programme. Details of the programmes are as follow:
In-Country Training Programmes are programmes conducted for/in SEAMEO Member Countries. The durations of each course will be one week. Upon selection of a training course by the member country, the Centre will be fully responsible for the choice of the Resource Person and his/her travel expenses. The Centre will also pay the Resource Person a per diem according to the rate approved by SEAMEO Secretariat to cover the cost of accommodation and meals during such overseas services. The host country will take charge in organising and coordinating the programme on their site. Both parties need to agree on their terms of reference in principle at least two months before the start of the particular In-country Training Programme.
Customised training programme is a fee-paying training programme, which is conducted for a specific group of clients, both private and public not only for VTET administrators and implementers but also for other stakeholders in different fields. The course is being packaged based on the training requirements of the requesting organisations. The estimated rates or costs will depend on the number of participants, duration, venue, facilities and services involved in the conduct of the course.
NOTE: The maximum attendees in a class are 10-15 persons. Courses are subject to cancellation should the attendance is less than the requirement.
Special training programme is a capability building activity which can be undertaken solely by SEAMEO VOCTECH or jointly organised by any partnering organisations. The funds to be used for this purpose can be generated through the submission of proposals to funding donors. This kind of project can also be a result of a collaborative undertaking by the Centre and other institutions through an agreed Memorandum of Understanding. The course is being packaged based on the training requirements of the targeted beneficiaries.
The Community Involvement Programme implemented by the Centre is also classified under the category of Special Training Programme. However, the programmes or services provided are free of charge and are designed specifically to develop or upgrade the capabilities of selected communities in Brunei Darussalam. This programme does not necessarily require a joint partnership for its implementation. It utilises whatever appropriate resources are available at the Centre.
