Participation fee

The participation fee for all 31 days is 3.999,- € plus 19% VAT, totalling at 4.758,81 €. Thats an average net price per day of 129,- €.
Included in the participation fee are the lessons as well as the individual support, plus all the material and tools needed for the work during the seminars. Travel cost, food, drink and accommodation are not included.

The participation fee will be taken in lump sums and billed at the beginning of each semester. Regardless of the number of seminar days in a semester the instalments are as follows :

1. Semester: 1.200,- € (plus. 228,- € VAT., total 1.428,- €)
2. Semester: 1.100,- € (plus. 209,- € VAT., total 1.309,- €)
3. Semester: 1.000,- € (plus. 190,- € VAT., total 1.190,- €)
4. Semester: 699,- € (plus. 132,81 € VAT., total 831,81 €)

Due to the fact that the instalments decrease as the semesters go on, the average daily price will also decrease. The best daily average price (129,- €) will be achieved by attending all seminars.

The ever decreasing fees are meant to guarantee that participants register to the training course and the academy. Should a participant find himself suddenly not being interested in the course anymore or in a bad financial situation, there are no complicated clauses and the participant will be given the opportunity to quit immediately.

The prices show that the longer someone takes part, the more financially viable taking part in the academy becomes.
The last instalment (fourth semester) is 699,- euros plus VAT and and accounts for 5 seminar days and the 5 day final project week. So for that semester the average price per day is 69,90,- €! So there is both a financial as well as professional appeal to completing the training fully.

What happens if I quit the training early?

Participants wishing to quit the training early are kindly asked to inform us about this decision as early on as possible, so that we can adapt our planning for the seminars. Participants who wish to quit do not owe any further payments, condition being that they have paid all sums due up until the point they quit; there will be no cancellation fee and you will not be asked to pay compensation. A participant may however not receive any refunds for payments already made. It is therefore not possible for a participant to claim an average daily price of 129,- € if they quit after the third semester. Participants who have only taken part in one seminar and are then unable to partake in any further seminars and have not acted negligently or intentionally to cause their absence from any further seminars, may receive a refund equal to the amount of half the first instalment paid.
