Courses 2026

Here you will find the courses offered this year. Some courses are booked-out within a day after opening of the registration. Should your favorite course be already booked-out, you might consider registering for the ISA MAILING LIST to be notified two weeks before the new programme is officially bookable with a chance for an early-bird-booking. Apart from that we do not take any pre-registrations by email, telephone, letter etcetc - sorry ...
