Introduction
Training has been a major mandate of SEAMEO BIOTROP since its establishment in 1968. This mandate is aimed at helping produce a cadre of improved human resources in Southeast Asia on various aspects of tropical biology that are capable of bringing innovation and growth in their areas of work toward contributing to the total sustainable development of their respective countries. This mandate is being carried out by the Centre through funding support from the Government of Indonesia, SEAMEO Special Education Development Fund, and other national and international funding partners.
Through the years, the Centre has continuously addressed the knowledge and skills development needs of clost to 10,000 professionals and students from government and private institutions on a wide range of topics on tropical biology.
For 2012, the Centre has lined up 8 national training courses and 3 seminar-workshops for implementation along the 5 major program thrusts identified under its 8th Five-Year Development Plan.
The 5 major programs include pest and disease management, biosystematics, natural products and waste management, water ecosystem and coastal zone management, and biotechnology. All of the courses are coordinated and facilitated by the Centre’s in-house scientists supported by relevant logistical units, including the BIOTROP Information and Training Centre.

Training Course Design
- Most, if not all, of the training courses are designed within a one-week duration.
- Depending on the nature of the training course, training methods/activities usually consist of lecture-discussions, field trip/practicum, small group workshops, individual assignments, and laboratory exercises. These training methods/activities are meant to address the knowledge and skills development needs of the participants on the subject matter of their interest.
- Lecture notes and other training materials are given to the participants during or toward the end of the training course depending on the resource persons and on the nature of activities that the particants will undergo.
- Participants are expected to produce specific individual and/or group outputs during and toward the end of the training course as requirements for completion. These outputs are meant to gauge the level of learning achieved by the participants as a result of their training attendance. The outputs could also serve as inputs to explore possibilities for future collaboration with the participants’ organization and SEAMEO BIOTROP, thus, sustaining training impacts.
- SEAMEO BIOTROP training courses are meant to establish networks of professionals to sustain exchange of information and experiences, further develop knowledge base on the subject matters, and forge inter-organizational collaborations. Participants that would successfully complete any training course shall automatically be included in SEAMEO BIOTROP’s database of training alumni.
Implementation Scheme
- Unless otherwise indicated, all training courses are conducted at the SEAMEO BIOTROP headquarter in Bogor, Indonesia. Participants are housed in cottages inside the Centre campus.
- The medium for instruction for national training courses is Bahasa Indonesia and English for regional/international training courses.
- Course fees shall be collected from qualified participants at least 3 weeks before the start of the course through bank transfers. SEAMEO BIOTROP bank details shall be given in the acceptance letter to be sent to qualified participants.
- Cancellation of participation shall be made by concerned individuals one week before the start of the training course through a formal letter to be submitted to SEAMEO BIOTROP either via email to the designated coordinator or fax (+62 251 8326851). The letter must be addressed to the designated coordinator.
- SEAMEO BIOTROP gives two types of training certificate depending on the compliance of the participants on the undertaking the training course requirements as follows:
| a. | Certificate of Completion for participants who have completed at least 80 percent training attendance and activities. |
| b. | Certificate of Participation for participants who have completed less than 80 percent of training attendance and activities. |
- Corollary to No. 5, participants that would be receiving sponsorship from SEAMEO BIOTROP are required to give 100% attendance and active participation in all training activities.
