All prices are shown in Euro (€) because the courses are taught from Belgium, Europe.
Important to know, In Europe a comma is used to separate the decimals. For example €1,50 stands for €1 and 50 cents.
In the United States and some other countries, they often use a period.
If you have another currency in your country (Dollar, Yen, …), you will have no problem paying in your own currency. Once you enter the payment process, you will be directed to your bank which will display the prices in your home currency.
