Important Considerations

Registration for an online course in itself isn't a guarantee for successful participation. Every person, who decides to enrol in an online-course with GIZ, should realise that success also depends on his/her ability to self-organise. Those participating should ask themselves the following questions:

• Do I have a natural interest in the subject?
• Am I prepared to invest time?
• Am I eager to communicate "cross-culturally"?
• Am I able to follow the training target - even over a long period of time - with determination?
• Do I have the technical requirements, such as a stable and quick Internet connection?
• Do I know that it is insufficient just to read the course documentation? Regular and active participation in our communication-and-interactive exercises is absolutely essential.

If you can answer these questions with “yes”, participation in our online courses will provide you with up-to-date knowledge prepared and conveyed in a professional manner. In addition, you will have the opportunity to communicate with other learners, who mostly have a different cultural and professional background.
