NRI's geographical experience spans the world, with excellent links in the scientific community, both in Britain and internationally. NRI offers a wide range of formal training courses held in the UK and also organises, staffs, implements and evaluates courses in overseas locations. We can tailor training for the specific needs of individuals, national organisations and international agencies. Library Participants on NRI training courses have free access to the Institute's Library - widely acknowledged to possess the finest collection of documents on tropical agriculture in the United Kingdom. All International students are guaranteed accommodation either on campus or nearby in their first year.
Costs are in addition to course fees.
Information on the TCTP can be obtained from the British Council, British Embassies and High Commissions.

Sponsorhip from private companies is also welcome. Proficiency in English Courses are conducted in English and applicants must produce evidence of proficiency in the language - for example, by passing the British Council's English examination at level 6.5 or above.
