Formal education refers to the education that consists of three levels, viz. Primary education, intermediate education and higher education. Non-formal education, meanwhile, is the education held by community with the purpose of improving the competency of learners systematically and gradually. The education unit of non-formal education might include courses, training center, study group, community center, majelis ta’lim (informal gathering) and other equivalent education units. The informal education then is the education held by family and environment in the form of independent learning activities. Such education is held in the family (Regulation of National Education System, 2003; SNP, 2006). One of the interesting and unique non-formal educations can be found in a touristy place named ECO Green Park. It is an education-based tourism place. It provides a number of modes that can be used as an entertainment that also contains educational and training values.

Based on the observation conducted by the researcher, it has been found that 99% of employees, in fact, do not have any formal education both as a teacher and as a trainer. To provide learning and training to the visitors/learners, the employees of ECO Green Park do it based on autodidact (self-taught).
