Where do we run our courses? Anywhere. We have given courses in the UK, Portugal, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Argentina, Italy, The Netherlands, Finland, Spain, Germany, Lithuania, Norway, Bulgaria, etc. Here are some pictures from previous courses.

You want to run an in-house course? Please contact us. We give courses all over the world. Due to the high demand for our courses, there is a waiting list of approximately 14 months. Prices depend on location, course content and our travel costs.

You want to attend one of our open course somewhere in the world? About 15% of our courses are open, and places are available on a first-register-first-serve basis. Prices between these courses differ considerably due to currency differences and number of participants.
