Can you explain how this is the first Kukkiwon Instructor Course to be held outside Korea when the USTC hosted four in 2010?

Also, your own website shows there’ll be one in Brazil earlier than this one:

It is not true. There was one in Malaysia last year and one in US a few years back.
This year in March there is another one in South America.
It´s not the first time outside of Korea but it is surely the most expensive one…
The most expensive one?
According to their outline, the fees for the course in Brazil are US $ 500.- which is € 367.- (exchange rate from today).
The fees for Vienna have been € 325.- for all participants until end of 2012 and are now € 365.- for 2nd and 3rd Dan and € 395.- for 4th dan an higher. Comparing the average cost of living here in Vienna, this is very reasonable.
I have participated twice at the Foreign Instructor Course in Korea and considering the flight ticket to Seoul (about € 1.000.-) and the accommodation (another € 500.-) I would not say that it was a bargain.
Here in Vienna we provide accommodation on location for a limited number of participants for very low cost and even if they come from other countries, the total cost for this course will be lower than half compared to flying to Seoul and taking the course there.
