Tailor-made courses

 

 

 

Two new tailor-made courses are available: Land reclamation and land use planning under post-tsunami conditions in Aceh, Indonesia (LUPTA), and Sustainable Development of Tropical Peatlands (PeatWise).

In recent years, Alterra-ILRI has begun to offer training courses that are a direct follow-up of its research and advisory activities with, and for, organisations in developing countries. Such courses are referred to as ‘tailor-made courses’ because they are set up at the request of an organisation and their content is tailored to the specific training needs of the requesting organisation’s staff.

Tailor-made courses can be given either at Alterra-ILRI, Wageningen, or in the home country of the organisation that requests them. The keyword in designing tailor-made courses that will meet the training needs of various clients is 'flexibility'. Alterra-ILRI develops the content of each tailor-made course separately, working with the requesting organisation and with local research institutes, consulting firms and governmental agencies. Together, Alterra-ILRI and its partners attune the course content to the local circumstances while making sure not to lose the global perspective. For every tailor-made course, Alterra-ILRI combines its own expertise, built up over forty-five years in countries around the world, with the expertise that is locally available to create the most relevant curriculum possible for the participants.

The website describes in detail a number of Alterra-ILRI’s tailor-made courses, each having its own curriculum and target group:
