The mission of the Training Centre is to manage, develop and deliver quality training in order to maintain the operational capability of CMAC and humanitarian de-mining NGO’s working in Cambodia.
The commitment of the training Centre is to upgrade its teaching practices to be able to fully utilize the latest information technology tool and as well as to meet all criteria set by the human resources branch at the CMAC Head Quarter.
TIMA comprises of five main structural areas:
TIMA orchestrated training courses to contribute to the cultivation of expertise and knowledge in the realm of mine action. These courses were thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse needs of participants, encompassing both internal and external training initiatives.
Internal training
External training
In terms of internal training, TIMA organizes comprehensive courses exclusively tailored for the esteemed staff of CMAC itself. These training sessions served as a platform for dedicated CMAC personnel to enhance their skills and deepen their understanding of mine action operations.
In addition to bolstering the capabilities of CMAC staff, TIMA extended its expertise beyond the confines of CMAC, conducting external training courses (countrywide, not international). These specialized programs were specifically tailored for the Cambodian National Police and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF). Both the Cambodian National Police and RCAF, which are vital components of the nation's security apparatus, benefited from the knowledge imparted to trainees, who eagerly absorbed the invaluable insights shared during the training.
TIMA proudly hosted international training courses catering separately to representatives from various countries under the South-South Cooperation funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This collaboration showcased the commitment of both organizations to mutual learning and the exchange of best practices in mine action.
