Each seminar is evaluated. We will send you the report, so that you have a feedback about your seminar. We would like to ask you to inform the participants about the evaluation, to provide the link to the online evaluation and to underline the importance of their participation both for you and for us.

Participants receive a certificate upon participation by email.  Participants who were absent for more than 20% of the time don't receive a certificate.

Additionally, participants receive a supplement to the certificate with information about the course topics. We will approach you in this regard in due time, as we need your support for generating the master supplement for your course.
