Additional programme information:
- The total online part of the training lasts 15 academic hours. The programme also includes self-study of materials before the practical part (8 academic hours) and obligatory participation in classes held between 19 and 23 January 2026. After the practical part, teachers will be available to answer students’ questions (a total of 1 academic hour per student for the entire training). In addition, students will be required to provide feedback and complete a final test (2 academic hours).
- A 10-minute time slot for other participant needs is planned in the middle of each session that lasts 2 hours or longer.
- The total training time equals 26 academic hours.
Organizer reserve the right to change the training details. These changes will be announced to participants.
