Classes schedule
university courses / credits
All courses are of advanced level, taught in English, and fully credited. Each course is worth 3 US/Canadian semester credits. Credits for courses are granted by Viator Foundation in the form of a transcript showing the number of earned credits, the course level, and grades for each course. It is recommended that students make arrangements for the transfer of credits with the appropriate official at their universities before leaving their home countries.
The Academic Approval Form is provided as a tool to help achieve this end. Upon completion, this form should not be sent in with the application. It should rather be kept in a safe place for future reference since it will be helpful to obtain proper credit for our courses at the home university.

Faculty
Courses in leadership are taught by a core of dedicated professional teachers. They have lots of experience in teaching international students. The Viator Foundation faculty help students feel completely at ease. Professors are kind and approachable. A certain degree of informality and a readiness to share cross-cultural experiences are basic to Viator's perspective. The global village makes us feel every day closer and we are fully aware of that.
