Registration info
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and closed when 40 participants have enrolled. Therefore, we encourage participants to register ASAP. A waiting list will be established if registration exceeds 40 participants.
The course registration fee includes 30 hours of class training, student supervision, course material in digital format, lectures, sample data, and a Linux Virtual Machine with all the software installed. To register, all participants must:
- Complete the skills assessment and registration form here.
- Wait for our approval before proceeding with fee payment.
- Pay the registration fee in either USD or EUR ($50.00 or €45.00).
You will be considered registered only when the registration fee has been paid in full* in one of the above fee categories, we have received your completed registration form, and we have sent you a confirmation email.
*Payments and registration will be considered incomplete if a payment received is less than the exact amount stated above. We cannot take responsibility for any transfer charges or currency conversion costs.
Payment options
For payment, please use one of the following options:
- Bank transfer:
You can pay by bank transfer (from you online-bank to our bank under the same currency) through one of the following options:
-
- EU-based transfers in EUR can be made using the following bank details:
Account holder: Spatial Ecology
BIC: TRWIBEB1XXX
IBAN: BE46 9670 2668 2036
Wise’s address: Rue du Trône 100, 3rd floor; Brussels; 1050; Belgium
-
- Transfers in USD from outside and within the USA can be made using the following bank details:
Routing number: 026073150
Swift/BIC: CMFGUS33
Account number: 8310052672
Bank name and address: Community Federal Savings Bank, 89-16 Jamaica Ave, Woodhaven NY 11421, United States
From within the USA, if you do not see a straightforward option in online banking, note that most US banks are enrolled in Zelle , and some of them offer the option to make an “ACH” transfer, for which you can use our account information above. You will see the Zelle option in online banking under the “transfers” menu. Note however that the banks cannot do Zelle transfers with just an email address or phone number. You may be charged extra bank fees if you choose to do a “wire transfer” instead of the above.
Bank transfers in the same currency are usually commission free.
- Wise transfer (https://wise.com) (Best way for South American countries):
Create an account in Wise using https://wise.com/invite/u/giuseppea101 and send from your home currency to GBP or EUR or USD (see account details above). Use the link https://wise.com/invite/u/giuseppea101 for a commission-free transfer. You can link your Wise account with your bank or use a credit card for the payment. Wise is the simplest and cheapest option, especially if you pay in a currency other than EUR or USD!
Please note, if you can only pay by international bank transfer:
- Banks can charge high transfer fees and expensive currency exchange rates that are not always apparent.
- You must therefore ensure that any bank charges are paid separately and not deducted from the transfer amount.
- We must also receive the full amount stated in your fee category after your bank factors in their foreign exchange rate.
- If there is a shortfall in the course fee received, we will request you to clear the outstanding balance by making another payment, which will incur further costs for you or your sponsor.
- If you or your sponsoring institution can only pay by bank transfer from any other currency to Spatial Ecology’s bank accounts (EUR or USD), contact jperlaza35@gmail.com for details.
- If you or your sponsoring institution need an invoice or receipt contact jperlaza35@gmail.com for details.
Refund policy
A written request for registration cancellation must be e-mailed to info@spatial-ecology.net. If registration cancellation is requested by 31 October 2024, a full refund of the registration fee will be made. After this date refunds will only be possible if a candidate from the waiting list is able to replace the withdrawing candidate.
