Start with one learning objective
Write down the skill or knowledge gap you want the course to address. Compare that objective with the published programme, rather than relying on the event title alone.
Separate observation from participation
A live demonstration, simulation session and cadaveric lab offer different experiences. Ask whether every participant operates, how much supervised practice is included, and whether lab access requires a separate fee.
Confirm entry requirements
Check the intended training level, professional eligibility, teaching language and prerequisites. If the programme mixes knee and shoulder topics, check how much time is allocated to shoulder education.
Budget beyond the advertised fee
Ask about taxes, specimens, equipment, meals, travel and accommodation. Read cancellation terms before making non-refundable travel arrangements.
Organizer resources
Confirm the details of any specific course on its official page.
