Programs and Services

AMI is proud to present its annual training program and training calendar for 2010.

 

Please notice that our program and website have been restructured in order to help our clients in selecting the training programs that will best meet their own or their staff’s training needs both from our open training program and our customized programs and services as well.

I. AMI Open Training Program

 

AMI training programs are designed to support capacity development of staff of national and international organizations/institutions and projects/programs in international development. The courses provide managerial competencies that enable the participants to work successfully in their respective fields of work.

 

In our training program you can find training courses, which prepare participants for leadership responsibilities, team and conflict management and human resource development. All these programs have a strong emphasis on necessary communication skills (moderation, negotiation, mediation, counselling and training) as a prerequisite to apply more specific management techniques successfully. Further there are courses that cover the whole range of project management, from systematic planning to monitoring and evaluation.

 

The AMI training approach always considers the cross-cultural dimension of international management. All courses offer a well balanced mix of theoretical inputs, practical application and exchange of experience. A variety of different interactive methods are used, e.g. group work, experiments, simulations, case studies, exercises, role plays, games and coaching. Participants are encouraged to work on case studies and issues from their own field of work. This interactive, appreciative process moves management training away from the traditional lecture approach and gives participants hands-on experience which they can readily apply to their work.

 

AMI training programs focus on 2 major target groups:

 

 

National personnel are increasingly filling important staff positions In GTZ-supported programs and projects. According to the GTZ-policy for National Personnel national staff is expected to know and apply all relevant GTZ policies, standards, rules and regulations. In this context good performance is to a large degree the result of a systematic capacity building process that enables staff to meet the job requirements. Program managers play a key role in helping national staff to meet the necessary performance standards.

 

AMI courses for national personnel allow participants to assess and shape their behaviour and competencies to cope with the challenges of working with GTZ in a rapidly changing social, political and economic environment.

 

AMI builds on more than 20 years of experience In organizing and conducting training programs in management training and organizational development consultancy. Our participants come from the public and the private sector from all over Asia and the Pacific.

 

Training venues are different locations in Thailand (Bangkok, Hua Hin) to ensure convenient connections from all over the region. Our services include full support for travel arrangements of participants in Thailand and we can as well help with visa applications, etc.

II. AMI In-house Training and Capacity Development

AMI-training programs have also been successfully organised as in-house or program/project-specific trainings. Contents and methods are adapted to the specific needs and interests of the participants and organisers. In-house trainings usually take the form of a training-workshop, which combines training with direct application to the specific situation and problems of the participants. Tailor-made in-house capacity development is recommended when:

 

 

Apart from our courses in the open program, AMI offers additional specific courses which have been designed for in-house or project specific group training.
