We provide lunch and printed training materials. We do not cover any of your travel expenses or accommodation. We give all of our training courses in English. You can find more information about the course at: http://www.ripe.net/training/lir/ How to register: --------------------- The target audience of the LIR Training Course is employees of new LIRs, and new staff from established LIRs, who will deal with us as part of their regular work. You can register up to two people from your LIR for each course. (If there are places left nearer the time of the course, you can register more people). As we give out confidential information to attendees about their own LIR, only 'LIR contact persons' can register themselves for a course. LIR contact persons can also register other colleagues.
