Please note: If you choose to pay bank transfer the system only recognises you as registered participant once the amount arrives to our account. Hence, the number of people who are indicated here on the site is lower than actual registrations we receive. The time stamp on your registration will determine if you fit into the maximum number of participants of this course. If the number of  participants exceeds the maximum number allowed we will put you on a waiting list. If we don't have more available spots, you will be offered to participate in the same course organised another time or you will have the option to get fully refunded.
