About the Course
The course usually happens in Braga, Portugal. However, the client can arrange a course in any city in Europe, North or South America. Arrangements can be made if you live in Asia or Australia. It is up to the client to choose a place that suits their needs and complies with the minimum requirements we need.
At the date that best fits the client’s needs. We do not mix people who do not know each other. Instead, we schedule the course as per the client’s instructions.
Prepare for your trip by booking your flights to the closest airport in Oporto (OPO, 45 minutes driving). Alternatively, you can fly to Lisbon (LIS) and travel to Braga by the Alfa Pendular train on a 3h 37min trip. The recommendation is that you should arrive at least on the day before the course’s first day and fly back on the day after its last day, or later. Note that you will carry back more items than you brought for your course. The Brainwave set weighs slightly less than 2.5kg and is contained in a carrying bag with dimensions 28 x 18 x 22cm (L x W x H). For the course (printed) material, anticipate the size to be akin to a binder containing a regular 500-sheet ream of paper for the first participant and a 200-sheet ream for each additional participant.
