FAQ

Right of withdrawal: You have the right of withdrawal secured by the European laws governing web purchases. This gives you the right to withdraw your enrolment within 14 days of payment and get a full refund, no questions asked. What is the Cancellation Policy? CIID will not refund workshops if you choose to cancel later than the 14 days mentioned above. What if one or more of my workshops are cancelled for some reason? In the unlikely event that any of your workshops are cancelled, we will offer you the opportunity to participate in one of the other workshops. If you decide not to attend an alternative workshop, you will receive a voucher for the equivalent amount toward a future CIID workshop.

Is there a Facebook group? Once you have paid your participation fee and created your online profile, you will be invited to a Facebook group where you will be connected to other participants and faculty. What other activities will happen? You will have the opportunity to mingle with participants from all workshops, and there will be some joint networking events. From a team-building perspective, you will build close relationships with your peers.

How much does it cost? 1200 Euros per workshop at the regular rate. Read more about the Fees. How do I pay? When you submit your enrolment, you will be asked to pay the tuition amount in full via credit card or debit card. If you are unable to pay with a credit/debit card, you can pay via bank transfer. However, if we don’t receive your payment within 7 days, your workshop bookings will be cancelled. Please note that workshops that have already been paid for will not be refunded. What if I don’t have a credit card or if the amount is too high for a single transaction? If this is the case, you can elect to make a bank transfer. You are responsible for any additional costs associated with this method of payment. Please note that if the payment is not received within 7 days from the date of your enrolment, your reservation will be cancelled. What is included in the participation fee? The participation fee covers the workshop and additional networking events. Is there financial aid or scholarships available? CIID is not able to offer any kind of financial aid or scholarships for this programme. However, funding may be available from your home country. It is your responsibility to research funding opportunities. If I miss a day, can I get my money back? We cannot offer a fee reduction to those who miss days for any reason, including illness.

How much interaction design experience do I need? None, some, or lots. We encourage a multidisciplinary class, so we are looking for a diverse group of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. This approach enables peer-to-peer learning and interesting group discussions. Do I need prior knowledge of specific software/hardware/electronics? Some applicants may already be experts in programming and electronics; others will have no experience at all. The idea is that skills will cross-pollinate across the group via teamwork and collaboration. If specific prior knowledge is required, this will be included in the workshop description.
