Important Notes 

– Application Deadline: Submit documents to the International Relations Division at least four months before the intended start date.

– Reapplication Policy: Applicants are required to apply for courses that correspond to their qualifications. Reapplication to a different course (following rejection from another program) is not permitted unless a valid justification is provided.

– Training Fees may apply upon acceptance *.

* Fees for each course may vary, as this is a non-regular, customized program. The total course fee will be provided once the trainee is accepted to the program and the training schedule is finalized by the committee.

– Funding Requirements: To maintain a smooth application process and minimize disruptions, applicants must secure all necessary funding prior to submission.

Withdrawal & Postponement Policy:

– Last-minute withdrawal/postponement (fewer than 30 days before the program commences) cause significant disruptions to scheduling and resource allocation. Applicants who fail to secure funding/ensure their availability before applying and subsequently withdraw at this late stage will face indefinite disqualification from future applications!

– In cases of postponement due to unforeseen circumstances, applicants must submit an official letter, signed and authorized by their supervisor, outlining the justifiable reasons for the request. This documentation is mandatory for consideration of a new training start date. However, approval is not guaranteed. If granted, this will constitute the final opportunity for rescheduling. Any subsequent modifications will result in program termination, with forfeiture of the non-refundable course fees as a penalty.

Non-compliance with these guidelines will result in application disqualification without further notice.
