A. IHO CL38/2011 dated 30 June – Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Republic
of Korea and IHO on Support of the IHO Capacity Building Programme
B. 2019 Capacity Building Work Programme (2019 CBWP)
Dear Hydrographer,
1. The Republic of Korea (ROK) supports the IHO Capacity Building (CB) Programme by providing
funds under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2011 as indicated in Reference A. In
accordance with Reference B (Activity P-04), a new Capacity Building training on "Training for Trainers
Programme in Basic Hydrography" will be held at the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency
(KHOA), Busan, ROK, from 8 to 19 July 2019. Funding provided by the ROK is available for up to seven
participants to attend this Programme. The Programme, which had been successfully run within the East
Asia Hydrographic Commission (EAHC), is now expanded to the global IHO community and aims to
train a pool of trainers from different IHO Member States so that they can conduct training for their
respective hydrographic offices. This would be especially useful in Member States where English is not
their mother tongue. Further details of the Programme are provided in Annex A.
2. Funding support will cover a return airfare, accommodation, meals and training materials. The
funding does not include pocket money for the students or allowances for family members. Medical and
life insurances are not covered and should therefore be arranged by the submitting organizations or the
selected students.
3. IHO Member States are invited to consider nominating ONE suitable candidate who will benefit
from this Programme and will thereby assist the nominating country in developing its hydrographic
capabilities. In accordance with the IHO CB Strategy, this Programme is only open to candidates from
IHO Member States.
4. It is essential that candidates are employed by a national hydrographic office, a maritime authority
or a related national agency in the nominating country. The nomination must include a statement
specifying that the candidate is, or will be, involved in the provision of hydrographic services and that,
once the training has been successfully completed, the candidate will continue to work in this field.
5. The authority nominating a candidate should select the nominee carefully and ensure that
opportunities will be in place for the individual to apply the learning received in a structured manner on
their return to their country. This will ensure that the individual and the nominating organization gain
maximum benefit from the training opportunity.
Hydrographic information driving marine knowledge
6. Nominated candidates MUST meet the following criteria:
a. Have a high school diploma plus two years of additional education from a technical college,
institute or university. The additional education should be focused on physics, statistics,
mathematics, information and communication technology. A Category "A" or Category "B"
Certificate in Hydrographic Surveying is preferable.
b. Have a very good standard of English, both written and spoken, with reasonable technical
English (Candidates’ English skills will be assessed during a telephone or teleconference
interview before final selection).
c. Submit an application that includes their education, work experience in hydrographic survey
for at least five years. Teaching experience would be a plus. Evidence of education and a
CV should be provided with the submission.
7. Applications should be submitted in accordance with Capacity Building Procedure 7, using the
Application Form reproduced in Annex B (a Word file version is available in the IHO website at:
www.iho.int/cb → CB Procedures → Procedure 7).
8. A Selection Panel, comprising representatives from the IHO Secretariat and KHOA, will select
the candidates for the Programme. The successful candidates and their parent organizations will be
informed of the selection by the end of May 2019. Successful candidates will be selected individually
based on their merits. Once selected, candidates cannot be changed by their national authorities. Selected
candidates will receive detailed logistic information directly from the KHOA Project Leader.
9. Applications should be submitted no later than 21 May 2019 to the following address:
IHO Secretariat
Fax: +377 93 10 81 40
e-mail:
[email protected] with copy to

10. Applicants and nominating authorities should carefully consider the short timescale involved
between selection and commencement of the Programme. This may impact on the ability of some
personnel to obtain the necessary visas and to make all personal domestic and administrative
arrangements. Selected candidates will be expected to report to KHOA to commence the training on 8
July 2019.
