A self-study programme is a service provided electronically. It is the period of self-study that is the most important in our self-study Basics of Health Economics and not the kickoff and closing webinars. As a result, this self-study program follows a different VAT application and the place of the service is where the customer is established. Therefore, we follow the VAT rules applicable to the country of your invoicing address.
Our face-to-face courses in Brussels and Zurich take place in four-star business hotels close to the airport. As part of our strong relationship with these hotels, CELforPharma has secured a discount on the daily room rate for our delegates who book their accommodation via us.
Upon your registration, we will assist you to make your hotel booking. For any assistance in this matter please do not hesitate to email Kealeigh Steel, Senior Programme Coordinator, or contact her by phone at +32 2 709 01 45.
We do not record our live online public courses as we want to offer a safe environment for all attendees to share their experiences and freely ask questions.
This way, by participating in our courses, you do not only learn from our expert faculty but also from your international peers in the room.
No, we don't sell the course materials as a stand-alone.
Without the expert's explanation, the exercises and the discussions with other course participants, there is very little value in the slides.
