Nature Training Programs:

- Professional Field Guide Level 1 Course:

Course Duration:
 6 months to 1 year. At Bhejane, we believe that 6 months is the minimum period of tuition for a level 1 guide to be declared competent. There are many guides that complete a short training programme and immediately start working, only to find that they are not fully prepared for everything that is expected of them. 

We follow a learning philosophy that enables you to gain confidence and demonstrate skill in every area of learning before you qualify with your Level 1 qualification. To guide, is to lead.  Being a leader requires personal skills and emotional intelligence. Our 6 month training programme will not only ensure a good working knowledge of the natural environment, but will help you reach your full potential as a confident and able group-leader.

- Training component - 6 months full time training
- Workplace component - 6 months
(Optional:  Placement is subject to successful completion of  all modules)

Jacob Jensen Design | KMUTT Bangkok
Courses / Programs
Situated in the Klongsan area of Bangkok, Jacob Jensen Design provides a 12-month / 3-semester Design program. Collaborating with King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, the program is hosted in a functioning, world class design studio, a sister studio of the Jacob Jensen headquarters in Denmark.

While it is a learning environment, it is not a traditional school. It is a place to explore, while gaining real world experience. Reality is our teaching philosophy.

Through practice under Professor Timothy Jacob Jensen and senior designers, apprentice designers will learn the Jacob Jensen Design method, values and thought, which has evolved and been refined over decades of practice.

All design apprentices gain ethical and professional standards and add credibility to their existing résumé. Upon completion of the program, successful apprentices will graduate as designers who can competently reflect the Jacob Jensen Design style and form language.

They will have gained experience in how an international design studio operates, and they will have a unique foundation on which to build their own careers and studios.
