What material do I need to participate in the courses?
You need a laptop capable of connecting to the Internet, and a web browser. The laptop is needed for the lab exercises.
An iPad or tablet would also work, but it's not recommended.
-
Is lunch, or food in general, included in the price?
Lunch is included, and it is usually a buffet lunch. The time allocated is one hour (13:00 to 14:00), so there is also time in the break to check your e-mail or make a few phone calls.
If you have special dietary requirements, you can let us know when you register.
There are also two coffee breaks of 30 minutes each. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
-
We are a few colleagues from the same company/organisation and would like to register in bulk. Is that possible ?
It is required to individually register on the website and register for the specified course. It is however possible to request one single invoice by e-mailing us at support@glevia.ch and explaining which registrations would need to go under a single invoice.
-
You seem to indicate that courses are only face to face. Do you also do them online?
Our preference is for face to face courses. This is because with physical preference, learning capacity is boosted, and there is more focus on the course itself. Online courses are possible, and we propose them from time to time. If you'd like to have a specific course delivered online, please let us know, and we will be happy to discuss how to accommodate it.
-
Our organisation would like to have a dedicated course on a specific topic. Is that possible ?
Yes, this is possible. Send us an e-mail at info@glevia.ch and we will be happy to assist you with this.
