Schedule
Before you sign up
Keep in mind that registration involves a commitment to attend the course. Why? Because:
- Attendance is limited to max. 10 participants per course due to seminar room size limitations. If you don't show up then you take away a slot from a colleague.
- The hands-on exercises must be set up for every participant. Not attending means unnecessary work for the teacher.
See more details on registration and other practical issues.
Hygiene
If you get sick then there is no need to cancel your participation, but please notify the teacher immediately. You will be able to join "remotely" via teleconferencing from home if you feel well enough to follow the lecture. The exceptions are the programming skills courses which can be taught only "live".
There will be no more courses in 2024. Enjoy the holiday season, and then come back in 2025!
