REGISTRATION

• Express interest by filling out and following the directions on the online form below. Group interaction is key, so only 12 places are available. 
• If we have too many applicants a short intake will be done over the phone beforehand.
• Participation is free. International House Leuven offers the trainers, course material and organisation 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 60 € will apply for every half-day session missed without valid reason (own illness or of a family member; with doctor's certificate).
