The shortest face-to-face course Europa Media offers is a half-day course, and some of our courses are up to 5 days long. Depending on the topic, type of the course, its complexity, and the knowledge level of the participants, the duration of our courses vary, and the length is always indicated in the course description.

Webinars last from 1 hour to full-day. Some series last up to 3 days. Duration and starting time is always indicated in the description of the webinar and in the emails following registration.

As part of the course material, you are getting the presentations from us, so feel free to follow your usual practice, either to take notes or just enjoy our experts’ presentations. In any case, no need for presentation photographs. In case you want to take photos of/with other participants and publish them, make sure everyone agrees!

At company level, we are using Zoom, a video conferencing platform. You will receive instructions on how to use it before the webinar you enrolled in starts. To fully benefit from Zoom, we recommend you download the Zoom application on your desktop or phone.

All you need is the Meeting ID or Personal Link Name.

Our courses are held in various locations over Europe. The locations are not connected to the topics, so you can choose the topic you are most interested in and join us in e.g., Vienna, Barcelona, Brussels, our own office in Budapest, Amsterdam, Lisbon etc.
