BCA Frontliner Program (PFL) - Outbound Primasi at Ciawi Bogor

As a part of becoming a great CSO (a.k.a. employee of BCA bank), we are required to attend the training with Primasi, they are professional competency training company. As they are partnered with BCA for quite a long time already, I believe that they are qualified for the job! Although I personally think it is quite packed and too fast paced.

BCA PFL CSO SCHEDULE
We were given a schedule on our first day trainee day, stating that we will be off for "Personal Excellence Program" on our third day for 3 days and 2 nights stay at Bogor, Ciawi (1-2 hours from West Jakarta). We were suppose to be at our meeting point, which is Wisma Asia by 6 AM as the bus will took off at 6.15 sharp. This is a big challenge for those living far from the meeting point! 
Ps: if you missed the bus, you will need to find your own transport as the program is compulsory. 

Our schedule was held along with PAO and PRO group! Although we were seperated most of the time on the program.

Wednesday 30 September 2015, 5.45 AM - Waiting for the Bus to take us to Ciawi, Bogor, Indonesia

We are going to stay at Santa Monica Resort at Ciawi. Phone are not allowed during the in class and out-door session and we are very busy as our schedule is quite packed. I managed to take some picture on our last day, and some are the pictures taken by our instructor.

Just arrived!

When we first arrived, we were given hot milo each (all the drinks here is extremely sweet!!). Then we were all be assigned to our rooms, 3 people in each room, to put down our stuff and to rest for a while.

I was staying at Room Cherry 7B with 2 of my other friends, Stella and Rizky (girl)

The rooms look like some old wooden cottage. It is quite clean but humid as the resort itself was located on the mountain area.

Each cottage has 2 rooms attached side by side by a thin wall.
You can hear your neighbouring room very very clear!
Be careful! Walls really have ears here!

Our room is the far end of the small cottage

There are 4 beds on the room and one toilet on the left. Doors are on the right of this picture.

Our Messy Bed.
There are 4 beds per room. The bed cover is smelly as it is quite humid.
This is why people are saying the BCA really take care of its employees! 
I get to meet awesome people and experienced great things! And I heard the training normally cost 5 million Rupiah per person! What an investment!

Our room was located at the end of the stairways. I love how it looks on this picture! Haha!

Santa Monica Resort Ciawi, Bogor
The resort is quite vast! There are couple of separated field used for games!
I cannot tell too much about the games and in class lesson, as there will be competition involves and I think it will diminish the fun and mystery of the unknown if you get too much information beforehand. 

What I get from the 3 days and 2 night trip is that we were taught to:

• Believe in ourselves as we are great and blessed individuals! 
• Understand the importance of TEAM, COMMUNICATION, and DISCIPLINE.
• We learn the correct attitude to serve people (customer focus) 
• We learn how to get ourselves away from normal paradigm.
• We learn the theories in class and practice them ourselves outdoor! Therefore we really felt that we understand! Deeply and greatly.
• For fresh graduates, this is a really good programs as it helps you guys to transition from collage to work place. I didn't get this kind of luxury back then. I struggle a lot during my transition period.

Taken In Class before the closing ceremony
On the first day, I can't wait for this activity to be done and go home. But on the last day, I feel a little bit sad by the thoughts that this activity is finally done today. 

Oh, we also get a certificate at the end of the last day.

Tips:

• Come on time!
• Bring extra towel, they only provide 2 towels in each room.
• Bring extra clothing, I brought 4 Tees, 3 trousers, 1 PJ and half dozens of undies. Bring more if you want to swim. They have quite a big swimming pool.
• Bring your own toiletries, they only provide small soap bars and tooth brush/paste.
• Bring sport shoes and sandals, some of the in door class allows you to wear sandals, but it is up to you to decide whichever comfortable.
• Do not wear clean trousers/shorts for morning outdoor activity. The soil is wet, therefore your pants will get wet! I wear mine twice! LOL!
• Just bring simple make-up tools, most of the time, you will just could not bother to wear any because your are too tired and you are going to sweat it away anyway. 
• Bring your own water bottle.
• Sleep well the day before. You will need all the energy you have.
• Do not need to eat breakfast on the first day. Breakfast will be provided on the bus.
• Bring you jacket, it is quite cold at some night
• Do not forget sunscreen, I got tan :'(
• Bring Hairdryer!! I regret not bringing mine. I look like a mess with my hair super wet. 
• Open your mind! Be ready to receive dozens of information! ☺️
