REGISTRATION

• Register to express an interest and to be contacted for the intake interviews. Group interaction is key, so only 12 places are available.

• All participants are requested to have at least followed the general information morning "Start Your Career" (the next session or any of the previous editions) to ensure a good match between participants and program. Should demand be higher than the available places, participants of the info morning will be given priority. Additionally, a short intake will be done over the Phone/Skype beforehand.

• Participation is free. International House Leuven offers the trainers, course material, the venue, the organisation and even the coffee but in return we ask commitment and active participation. Past experience has forced us however to instate a formal no-show policy. A no-show fee of 40 € will apply for every half-day session missed without valid reason (own illness or of a family member; with doctor's certificate).
