The Standard Course is one course period (€870). The Learning Path is two consecutive course periods at a reduced price (€820 per course). The Complete Learning Path applies from three course periods and offers the biggest saving (€770 per course).

No. You can start with a Standard Course and switch to a Learning Path or Complete Learning Path at any time. What you have already paid is fully credited.

Example Learning Path: 2 × €820 = €1,640. You have already paid €870, so the second course costs only €770. Example Complete Learning Path: 3 × €770 = €2,310, minus €870 leaves €1,440 for the next two courses.
