COBIS Supporting Associate Status

COBIS Supporting Associate status is open to manufacturers and suppliers of educational materials and equipment, publishers of textbooks and educational books, and companies and consultants providing services to international schools. COBIS Supporting Associates benefit from a wide range of services provided by COBIS, many at reduced rates. A full summary of the benefits is available here.
