Under the New Zealand Aid Programme, a Geothermal Project management Short course has been specifically designed for the Short Term Training Scholarship scheme in conjunction with the New Zealand Aid Programme. It has been designed to provide short term training to meet identified needs in Indonesia and the Philippines.

The course will provide participants with a broad understanding of the full set of issues involved in taking a geothermal project from initial exploration to power plant construction, and electricity sales. Modern project management techniques will be presented, as well as their application to the geothermal environment. On this course participants will learn best practice along with applied practical knowledge specific to the ASEAN geothermal landscape.

This is a 4-week (continuous) residential course to be held in Auckland, New Zealand. Along with classroom teaching, the course also includes a Field Trip to a Central North Island geothermal power plant.

When

This course will take place from Monday 13 March to Friday 7 April 2017.

Participants will arrive in New Zealand on 9 March 2017, and meet with Skills International the next day for their induction. They will then travel to Auckland CBD where they will have the weekend to acclimatise and familiarise themselves to the area. Participants are scheduled to depart on the evening of 7 April 2017.

This course is suitable for middle managers who currently hold positions in Indonesian and Filipino geothermal development companies as well as middle managers across government, private sector, and non-governmental organisations. This course is especially relevant, if they are:
