The technical short courses described in this website, consisting of four weeks of instruction for groups of twenty participants, can be delivered at an all-inclusive cost of US $40,000 to $50,000 per course.
This total cost can be pro-rated and adjusted for courses of shorter duration or fewer participants. These lump-sum costs can also be used to calculate rates for specialized short-duration training of research personnel on an individual basis or in small groups. A rough calculation of these research training costs could be based on an estimate of $1000 per person per week.
M.Sc. degree training is available at the NWFPAU, covering the full range of agricultural disciplines, at an all-inclusive cost of $7500 per person per year. Two years is the normal minimum time period required for M.Sc. degree completion.
Itemized estimates of long term and short term training programs can be provided.
