IMPORTANT NOTICE:
- To participate in any of these courses, you must first register for the conference. You are not allowed to attend a course without also attending the conference.
- The cost of the courses is not included in the conference registration fee. Therefore, you need to register for the conference and select which course you’d like to attend as a separate step during the registration process. On site conference and course registrations will not be an option because we anticipate reaching our limit of attendees before that date.
- Courses that do not attract a minimum number of participants will be cancelled, and in such cases your course fee will be reimbursed in full. You will be notified and offered a spot in one of the remaining courses if spaces are available.
- Courses will be capped at the maximum enrolment to maintain the quality of the courses. Please ensure you book early to secure a placement.
