Utopia remains fully operative and keeps supporting your teaching and professional development. To reduce risk, we strictly adopt national regulations in all our offices, and accordingly:

• run our courses with an upper limit of participants;
• require our participants to wear safety masks;
• require our teachers to adopt appropriate safety measures (e.g., wear a mask, or visor);
• respect social distance among our course participants as well as with our instructors;
• have our rooms regularly cleaned during the day, and at the end.

• Is there a registration fee or any additional costs?

No, we don’t ask you to pay any registration fee or any other additional costs! The total amount to be paid is just the cost of the course.

• How does the early bird work?

On all our one-week and two-week courses, if you register at least 8 weeks before the course starts and pay within 10 days of our booking confirmation you can get the early bird price (e.g. 480€ instead of 540€ for the one-week courses).

Usually, the classes are made up of a maximum of 12 (for ICT courses) or 14 (for all the other courses) participants, with few exceptions (we have two classrooms in Florence that have higher capacity).
