Registration
Application process
How it works
Applications will be made through the application form at the end of this page. Participants will be selected on a first arrived, first served basis. The process will work as follows:
- participant sends an application using the provided form
- if room is available, payment details are sent to the participant; otherwise, participant is put on the waiting list
- final confirmation is sent when payment is received; if no payment is received within 7 days, the application will be considered cancelled
Note that the two courses will be run in parallel. It is only possible to apply to a single course.
