You can earn one ECTS credit for 25–30 hours' work. This equates to up to four credits for a one-week Main Course or eight credits for a two-week main course or up to six credits for a one-week Advanced Workshop.
On successful completion of the required work, and following receipt of your grades from the Instructor, we will email a credits certificate to you. If you want to earn credits, tell your Instructor on the first day of the course when you sign the attendance sheet in class.

Local institutions will convert the scale according to their own conversion tables.
