The OCPA Accelerator School (OCPA-2025) will be held in Thailand during 29 July - 7 August 2025.
The official language of the School is English. Participants are therefore expected to have strong English proficiency to fully benefit from the program.
The school program consists of lectures, assignments, discussions, on-site computer simulations, and final exam. Participants are required to bring their own personal laptop to actively engage in the academic activities.
OCPA-2025 is organized as an intensive accelerator school, and the participating students are about a total of 75 individuals.
The OCPA-2025 Committee will review all registration documents and select participants based on the submitted information.
