BENEFITS: A complete scholarship of the registration fee to the course. Scholarship recipients will be eligible to afterwards attend a GVF Hands OnSkills Test (HOST) required to complete the GVF Basic Satcom Professionalcertification. HOST sessions are scheduled at regional training locationsseveral times each year. These scheduled HOST sessions require a payment to theExaminer of $100.00 in developing countries and up to $200.00 in developedcountries. Developing and Developed Countries are as established by the UN.http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/definitions/regions/ ********************************************************************
