Applications, payments, and cancellation

Applications

All the Centre's regular courses are open to candidates through grants or individual sources of funding. These candidates should send their applications directly to the ITCILO.

Workers' Activities and Employers' Activities training courses are available by invitation only. Additional candidates may be accepted if they pay a fee and are approved by the Secretary of the Workers' Group or Employers' Group of the ILO Governing Body.

The application procedure allows the Centre to match participants' needs to training activities. It is important to specify language skills, job experience, and academic background.

 To apply for a regular course:

• Search for a relevant course related to your interests through the Courses and Teams pages.
• Note the details of the course, including its title, price, dates, and application deadline.
• Apply directly by completing the online registration form, if available, or email the contact person.

The team responsible for the course will consider all applications in a standardized selection process. Successful candidates will be notified immediately.

Prices for regular courses

The total price of a training activity is calculated through tuition and subsistence costs. Costs are subject to change.

The tuition price covers course preparation, implementation and evaluation, training materials and books, and the use of facilities and support services, including online resources. For face-to-face courses, tuition also covers study tours (if planned) and emergency medical insurance.

The subsistence price covers accommodation and full board on the Centre's campus, laundry services (for courses longer than one week), and local study visits (if planned). For face-to-face courses outside Turin, the subsistence price covers accommodation and full board, as well as incidentals, depending on the available facilities.

Travel

The listed prices do not include the cost of travel between the participant's home country and the course venue.

Participants are responsible for holding a valid passport and obtaining the appropriate visa for the country in which the course is held, for any country in which a transit or stopover is required, and for all countries in which study tours are scheduled as part of the activity. 

Listed prices do not include the costs of passports, visas, and airport taxes.

Enrollment in regular courses

Once a candidate has been accepted to a regular course, they will receive upon enrollment an official confirmation, guidelines, and an invoice issued by the Centre's financial services.

Payment is required to secure a participant's place in a course and, in certain cases, for the timely issuance of necessary visas.

The amount due should be received by the Centre at least 14 days prior to the start date of the activity and is payable in full. All related bank charges—bank of origin, correspondent bank, and recipient bank—should be borne entirely by the payer.

Payment methods and details

Payments can be processed by bank transfer.

It is essential that the invoice number and the course code are indicated on the bank transfer form and that the Centre receives a copy of the transaction no less than seven days prior to the start date of the course.

Alternatively, the amount due may be paid by credit card. As this method requires access to the Centre's secure, electronic payment service, participants wishing to pay by credit card should notify the Centre immediately. The Centre only accepts Visa and Mastercard.

Withdrawal, cancellation policy, and refunds for regular courses

If an enrolled participant wishes or must withdraw from a course, they may choose to apply to a different course or be substituted by another candidate. The participant must notify the Centre, in writing, of their decision at least 14 days prior to the start date of the course.

Cancellation of participation in regular courses will result in the following penalties:

• 14 days or more prior to the start date of the course: No penalty, 100% refund of amount paid less applicable bank charges
• 8 to 13 days prior to the start date of the course: Penalty of 50% of course price, refund of residual amount paid (if any) less applicable bank charges
