Value Added Tax (VAT)
For courses held in the Netherlands, Ticer has to comply with Dutch tax law and is thus is obliged to add 19% VAT to its course fees. For foreign participants it is possible to reclaim the VAT from your country's tax authorities. Please contact your national tax authorities for more information.
If you work for an international organisation which is exempt from VAT, please tell us so in the Questions and remarks box at the bottom of the registration form. Don't forget to mention your VAT number. Only then can we send you a correct invoice.
Early booking discount
As indicated in the table above, persons registering before 1 May 2010 will be given a € 150 discount. Other discounts do not apply. Registrations should be received by Ticer staff on 30 April 2010 24:00 CET at the latest.
Scholarships or grants
Ticer, nor Tilburg University can provide scholarships or grants. For information about grants and scholarships, please check one of the following websites.
- Go to the Grantfinder website. Select 'study' as purpose and your own country as country of origin. You get an overview Dutch scholarships for foreign students. Mind you! Not all grants are applicable for short courses like ours.

Infomation Ticer needs: expectations, biography and photo
On the registration form, we request you to send us

- a short biography (max. 100 words) with, e.g., information about your current/previous work, education, and personal interests;
- a (paper or electronic) passport photo.
Term of payment
The invoice must be settled within 14 days and at least 14 days prior to the start of the course. If you apply less than 28 days prior to the start of the course, the term of payment is reduced to ensure that the invoice is settled at least 14 days prior to the start of the course. The term of payment is indicated on the invoice.
The course fee is to be paid in euros. After the invoice has been sent, the course fee is always payable, unless cancellation has been received under the terms stated in the paragraph on "Cancellations and substitutions" below.
Acceptance of registration
Your registration will only be accepted upon receipt of payment within the term of payment. A limited number of places is available for all modules, thus ensuring an intensive and highly interactive course. If you fail to pay your invoice within the term of payment, Ticer has the right to give priority to other applicants.
Cancellations and substitutions
Failure to pay your invoice in time is not considered a cancellation; a notice of cancellation (in writing or by telefax) is.
If notice of cancellation is received at least 90 days before the start of the course (i.e. before 27 April 2010), we will refund the course fee, minus a handling fee of € 150. Cancellations received after this date cannot be accepted for refund, even in the case of illness, missing your flight, etc..
Substitutions (sending a colleague in your place) may be made at any time, but we need to be notified in advance.
Cancellation of courses
On 1 May 2010, a go / no go decision will be taken. Ticer reserves the right to cancel modules of the whole course if the number of registrations is insufficient to cover our costs. In this case, we will fully refund your course fee.
Health insurance
All participants in this course must have a health insurance that is valid in the Netherlands.
Certificates
Those participants who actively participate in the course and attend all presentations and workshops they registered for will receive a certificate at the end of the course. The course director takes the final decision in this.
ECTS credits
According to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) standard, 1.5 ECTS credits are allocated to the full course (5 modules).
