How to Secure Your Registration for IFPA Courses
To register, simply access the official IFPA website and then fill out the form within the established deadline. Additionally, it’s important to emphasize that spots are limited and, therefore, filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Thus, those wishing to guarantee their participation need to act quickly and attentively.
Registrations will remain open until October 3rd. Meanwhile, candidates should organize themselves to not miss the deadline. That way, it will be possible to secure a spot before the waiting list is activated. On the other hand, those who leave it to the last minute run the risk of missing out.
