training course policies

Please register early! If the training course for which you have registered does not meet the minimum number by 18 March 2026, IAIA HQ will notify you and provide refund information or offer to transfer you to another course.  Course registration after 18 March is possible but is subject to availability and receipt of payment. Registration closes 21 April 2026, and courses cannot be changed after that date.

If you must cancel, your course registration fee will be refunded minus a US$125 administration fee and contingent upon a written notice of cancellation received to HQ (info@iaia.org) by 21 April 2026. After 21 April, no refunds will be issued for cancellations or no shows.

Not able to attend IAIA26 but still want to take a course? Not a problem! An additional US$85 registration fee will apply; see the PDF registration form for details.

  • Proof of full-time student status (proof can be provided in the following forms: a copy of a recent transcript or a letter from an administrative professional indicating your full-time student status)
