Sessions are scheduled for October 21 and 28; November 4, 11, 18 and 25; and December 2, 9, 11 (Thursday) and 16. The course will be taught by María Estela Saquete Boro, professor at the Polytechnic School of the UA.
The fee is €68, covering student registration, university ID card, and insurance. A certificate will be awarded to those attending at least 80% of sessions. Enrollment opens on September 1 and will remain available until October 6 or until all spots are filled. Registration can be completed via the online form or in person at the UA Torrevieja office, Monday to Friday, 11:00–13:00, by submitting ID documents and contact details.
