Participating in International Courses.

By Principal Hans Skjerning

The international aspect
In the dairy training centre the international aspect has played a major role for many years and is an integrated part of the daily work. Numerous courses and contacts worldwide bring inspiration to the college, but also a demand for flexibility and quality.

Each year Kold college arranges a number of tailor-made courses for Danida and international companies. As an example we have made arrangements with the following courses:

• A 12-week course for participants from Nicaragua. Subject: Dairy technology in general.
• A 2-week course for participants from India: Subject: Milk powder.
• A 1-week course for participants from Japan. Subject: Danish Cheese College.
• A 4-week course for participants from Bangladesh. Subject: Production of drinking milk, UHT products and juice.

Through the years we have participated in a number of international training activities for lecturers teaching dairymen, processing technologists and in-service courses. Lecturers have been stationed at educational institutions abroad for periods of a few days to several weeks.
