Tico per MllorenteFrom next Monday 27 December the enrollment period will be open for the various 2011 courses. We will be offering a total of 18 courses structured in 5 areas: Primatology and Ethology, Conservation and Management, Human Evolution, Photography and Drawing, and Natural Sciences. These will consist of: Primate Cognition Seminars I and II, Chimpanzee Protection; Naturalistic Drawing and Improvement in Nature Photography, amongst others. New developments have been the addition of two courses on the Management and Care of Primates course, and a further level on the Origins and Evolution of Human Behavior II course.

Our training program which began in 2007 and has seen more than 780 people attend it, is aimed at anyone interested in Primates, in Nature, Conservation and Natural and Human Sciences. Targeted to, primarily, graduates and students of Psychology, Biology, Prehistory, Anthropology and Veterinary studies or those who wish to broaden their understanding of primate evolution, conservation, biology and behavior; however, it is also open to the general public interested in understanding the world of primatology and animal behavior, conservation, human evolution or natural sciences. For this reason no previous knowledge is required in order to attend any of our courses.
