What is the difference between the “Reservation” and “Full Payment” options?

The deposit option allows you to secure your spot on the course with a smaller initial payment and arrange the remaining balance at a later date. You don’t have to pay the full amount upfront. Both the deposit and the full payment equally guarantee your seat on the course.

Why is there a difference between EU and NON-EU payments?

The EU price applies to individuals or clinics registered within the European Union, allowing them to benefit from the EU VAT exemption (where applicable). The NON-EU price is for doctors and practitioners from outside the European Union, where the EU VAT exemption cannot be applied, according to European Union law.

If you don’t know which rate applies to you, send us an inquiry at question@dentalclass.pl with your VAT ID.
