How can I enroll in courses?
Corporate courses, IVENS Academy courses and intensive programs have dedicated pages on our website with a contact form where you can get more information about each course, price and upcoming dates.
What are the dates and locations of upcoming courses?
At IVENS, we have designed a clear timeline for our in-person courses. Two weeks in advance, we hold a meeting with interested clients to align expectations and prepare the course programme. This is followed by a kick-off session with all course participants, during which full access is granted to the course materials on Moodle, including required pre-readings.
After the course, a debrief meeting is held with the clients to assess which needs were addressed and identify any further areas of development.
Course and programme dates are published on our website, social media, newsletter, and other communication channels as soon as the initial meeting with the client confirms the schedule.
Stay tuned to IVENS’s communication channels to find out about upcoming course dates!
