Do you want to take a course in OLAT but you are not a member of one of those institutes on the list? In this case you have to get in contact with the responsible course author. If you are such an author and want to invite course participants from outside you should apply for specific accounts at support services. You will need the participant's first name, last name, as well as a valid e-mail address.
