D. If two or more persons from the same NGO participate in the same course, a 10% discount is available for the second and following participants. Individuals and organisations booking a second course within a twelve month period also obtain a 10% discount for the second course. For bigger groups and in-house training, please contact us on group rates.

E. For each course which a partner organisation organises, the partner organisation obtains the participation free of charge for one member of their organisation. Partner organisations can also sponsor a person of their choice of another organisation. The sponsorship covers tuition and course materials, but not expenses for food.

F. The NGO Management School sponsors the participation of one person for each course it carries out in countries where it operates without partner organisations, namely in Switzerland and the Philippines. Sponsorships are only available for scheduled courses and cover the course fees, but not travel and accommodation. Please send us an email to inquire about sponsorship criteria.

NMS is not in a position to help applicants to obtain sponsorships from other organisations. We encourage applicants to contact their organization or donor agencies to secure financial support.

Important: Course fees are calculated separately for each course. Please note that lower or higher fees may apply for certain countries, depending on travel costs for the trainers to the course location and other costs. Please refer to the NMS website for the exact fee for each course.

*The course fee is calulated in Swiss Francs. The fee in US$ is subject to change in accordance with the fluctuations of the daily exchange rate. For online foreign currency exchange information, we use www.oanda.com.
