Once you find training that interests you, you can check the instructions for how to apply or sign up for it on its info page. Most of our studies are open for all – you only need to fill in the registration form and reserve your spot. We usually only accept a certain number of participants to ensure quality guidance.

Some studies – first and foremost those which provide participants with qualifications – are only available through a separate application process. Detailed instructions for these are available on the info pages for each training or course. If you have questions, you can contact our education designers. Their contact information is available on each training info page.

Separate study rights

Some of the studies we offer are part of the University degree programmes, and to take part in these, you need separate study rights. Almost all these studies are also open for all and applying for the separate study rights simply entails using a different route for signing up. Don’t let the need for separate study rights deter you!
