IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PREVIOUS COURSES WITHOUT ECT’S

For a few years, we have offered the possibility to take an informal course at our website, that grants a diploma but no ECT’s. This practice will end 10.02.2024. This means that all students who sign up for a course/exam after this date must meet all necessary admission requirements for Nord University to be able to take our exams. All exams yield ECTs.
