Once this step is completed, you will be asked to upload your curriculum vitae as detailed into the course brochure (if you haven't already downloaded it, do so now!)

 

Then, you will be asked to pay the admissions participation fee, by credit card or by online bank transfer, directly from the registration screen (the banks of the MyBank circuit are accepted: check first that yours is there too before proceeding).

 

At the end of these steps, a PDF summary of all the data entered will be generated, which must be signed as indicated and reattached.
