Upcoming Courses
How each series works
Each series has several live online masterclasses. Every session is recorded, so you can watch it again or catch up if you join after the first date. The series ends with a hands-on workshop in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia, where you apply the techniques taught.
CME is awarded via KAPI for the complete series: all masterclasses plus the workshop.
Participants also join ITA’s private community platform to present cases and get feedback from peers.
