What is the difference between Knowcrunch's courses in a classroom and the e-learning courses?

The main difference between classroom courses and e-learning courses lies in the mode of delivery and the learning environment:

  • Delivery format: classroom courses are conducted in a physical classroom setting where students attend sessions in person, interact with the instructor and fellow classmates face-to-face, and participate in group activities. On the other hand, e-learning courses are delivered through our website platform, allowing students to access course materials, lectures, and assignments remotely via the internet.
  • Learning Environment: classroom courses provide a structured learning environment where students engage in real-time discussions, receive immediate feedback from the instructor, and collaborate with peers through in-person interactions. E-learning courses offer a more flexible learning environment, allowing students to access course materials at their own convenience and progress through the content at their own pace. Interaction with instructors and peers typically occurs through our private Facebook group or virtual meetings via ZOOM.
  • Flexibility: classroom courses often adhere to a fixed schedule, requiring students to attend classes at specific times and locations. E-learning courses offer greater flexibility as students can access the material anytime, anywhere, allowing them to balance their studies with other commitments.
  • Personalization: classroom courses may offer more personalized attention from instructors due to the smaller class sizes and direct interactions. E-learning courses, although lacking face-to-face interactions, often provide individualized learning experiences through interactive multimedia content, self-assessment quizzes, and adaptive learning technologies.

Ultimately, the choice between classroom and e-learning courses depends on personal preferences, learning style, and availability. classroom courses provide a traditional classroom experience with immediate feedback and face-to-face interactions, while e-learning courses offer flexibility, convenience, and self-paced learning opportunities through online platforms.

In which language are your courses and teaching material held?

Our course materials, including videos and files, are available exclusively in the Greek language.

Is there a specific enrollment deadline for courses in Athens or Thessaloniki?

The only deadline is the kick-off day of the course and of course upon availability of seats/tickets. However, it is important to note that our tickets can sell out months or days before the kick-off day. Therefore, it is advisable to ensure you secure/book your seat the earliest possible and do not miss out on the opportunity to participate in the course.

Is there a specific enrollment deadline for e-learning courses?

There is no specific deadline for enrolling in our e-learning courses. You have the flexibility to enroll in our course at any day and time throughout the year. The course is delivered entirely through pre recorded videos, on-demand, allowing you to access the content at your own pace. This means you can work through the material at your own pace, giving you the freedom to adapt the learning schedule to fit your needs and commitments.

You can opt to split the total cost into up to two (2) monthly payments. Please always check the tickets information for our updated policy on monthly installments for each course. Some courses have no monthly installments at all.

Do you accept/support programs like LAEK?

Our programs do not collaborate with the Greek ΔΥΠΑ/ΛΑΕΚ program or any similar programs. This decision is primarily based on the fact that our headquarters are located in the US and our priority is to maintain the highest quality of educational materials and instruction. When partnering with the Greek LAEK program, there are specific guidelines and requirements that need to be followed. Unfortunately, adhering to these guidelines may compromise the integrity and quality of our curriculum. Therefore, we have chosen not to participate in such collaborations to ensure that we can deliver the best possible educational experience to our students.

Can my company pay for the course? Can you issue an invoice?

Certainly! Your company can make the payment for the course and receive an invoice. During the registration process, after entering the participant's information, you can provide the corporate details in the billing information step. In the subsequent step, you will have the option to select a business payment method to complete the transaction (company's debit or credit card or company's business bank account via the SEPA direct debit payment option).

The system declined my card, what can I do?

Our system informs you for the reasons we decline your card (e.g. incorrect card number, incorrect CVV number, incorrect cardholder name, expired card, insufficient funds). If there is no specific information about the decline from our system, then the first thing you should do is contact your bank and investigate the reason of the decline.

Can I cancel a course? If so, until when? Do I get a refund?
