For each participant accepted to a PBI Indonesia Project training, we ask for a nominal fee to partially cover the costs of lodging and food expenses during the training. We keep this fee low to ensure people from a diverse range of economic backgrounds are able to attend the training. This fee also serves as a deposit to hold your position at the training, and we therefore ask that you pay the training fee at least 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the training.

If you are unable to pay the entire fee before the training, please discuss it with the Training Committee or Human Resources, as an exception may be able to be made for those with low incomes.

The training fee is on a sliding scale, based on a candidate's income and ability to pay. For those at the lowest range of the income scale, you can choose to pay either a nominal amount or not pay a fee.

Sliding-Scale Training Fees

Unemployed / No income: 0-100 Euros

Annual Income 5,000 - 10,000 Euros: 100-200 Euros

Annual Income 10,000 - 15,000 Euros: 200-300 Euros

Annual Income 15,000+ Euros: 300-500+ Euros

We encourage participants to fundraise locally in order to pay for your training fees and travel costs. Please contact your PBI country group to see if they can provide help with travel costs.

Methods of Payment

There are 4 possible payment methods. It is very important that in all cases that the money is clearly marked: "Training Fees for Indonesia Project".

1) Canadians and Americans:

Please send a cheque in US$ or CAN$ to the Indonesia Project address.

3) International Bank Transfers:

You can make a bank transfer to the Indonesia Project - please contact us for details.

4) If you cannot send your fee in one of the above ways before the training, please contact the training committee to discuss possible arrangements for bringing the fee to the training in either a cheque or postal cheque, or cash if no other method is possible.
