Frequent
Asked Questions FAQ
Why
so low costs
Do
not believe that a MBA should be obligatorily of long duration!
We are not a "cheap" University, the five main reasons
that explain our low cost MBAs are:
1.
Our
high Academic automation (Unique in the World!),
that include our revolutionary Semantic Content Analysis by
computer, the result of our 14 years work in his research and
creation. We are the first University of this kind in the entire
world,
2.
Our
high Education automation.
The paper handling of all lessons are highly automated,
3.
Our teachers by Telecommuter,
our virtual team, defined as
a team where members work together from remote geographical
locations of the entire World,
4.
The
readiness of the Web,
5.
We are a non profit organization.
Saying in another way, with the very high
level of our automations and they other procedures, had become possible the creation of a university with very low operational costs, as probably the universities in this digital century will be all in the future.
Two
courses at the same period It
is possible to study two courses at the same moment, but only with a total
payment at the enrollment.
In this
case, please sum the costs of the two courses, and later please apply a 20%
discount.
Fast-Track courses:
Example: Two paid courses total in enrollment, US$ 490.00 plus US$ 490.00 = US$
980.00, discounted = US$ 784.00.
Regular courses:
The same 20% discount applies to the Regular courses (one year).
Payment
in total at the enrollment:
For
this payment, you will have two options:
1.
In total at the enrollment,
2.
20% of the payment in the enrollment, plus 80% 30 days later.
What
are the differences between an online course and a course by
correspondence
The online course
has some disadvantages, among the ones the following:
-
Forces the
student to have a PC with a minimum structure of good sound and video
(camera, etc). This is possible in the most important countries, but not in
the entire World.
-
Forces the
student to be available during specific hours and days, for an online
class.
-
The
interaction between student and teacher is low,
because it's limited to the little time of online access and normally in
group.
-
The students needs a fast Internet connection as DSL or
similar, because with dial-up connections (let's say, with 28.8k) they
are very slow in order to follow an online class.
But the
course by correspondence doesn't have none of these four
limitations above, because its only
demand is to have access, usually once a week, to an Internet browser, and the
interaction is total because all your e-mails with questions - if you wanted
to send questions, this is not mandatory -
they are individually and personally answered by the teacher.
The online course is "beautiful", but it's not practical and easy as
the course by correspondence. And if we think in the whole world, the online
course it's almost impossible.
The
courses duration
You
have two options:
1.
Four and half months, in the so called Fast-Track model. You will
receive up to 115 lessons. See
below, in the What-are-the-Fast-Track model question.
2.
One year, in the Regular model, you will receive up to 206 lessons.
Available
languages
Our courses are in two languages,
in English plus one of the following languages at your choice:
Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Espanol, Swedish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.
Our
translation methodology is very good for you, because in the Business and
the IT fields the English is mandatory, and you can compare paragraph by
paragraph in the two languages, you will see both languages at the same time,
in the Web.
As
an example, in the Google Translate link (in all our pages, in the right column)
please go to your native language, and mouse over a text or a paragraph to view
both languages at the same time. In your lessons in the Web, will be the
same procedure. Or better, go to the link Lesson Example and do the same
thing.
How
many hours per week I need to study
In
the Fast-Track model, up to four hours per week. In
the Regular model, up to two hours per week.
How
to send questions The
questions are optional, it is your exclusively decision. The questions are not
mandatory. The
questions are answered up to 24 hours.
The
courses cost
All
courses have two cost options, in four installments or in total.
In
the Fast-Track model:
Total of US$ 590.00 in four installments. Alternatively, a discounted total of US$ 501.00 in only
one payment (total) at the enrollment.
In
the Regular model:
Total of US$ 1,990.00 in four installments. Alternatively, a discounted total of US$
1,660.00 in only
one payment (total) at the enrollment.
These
costs are total, without any extra expenses for documents, books, etc.
How
it works Please
see a details page,
click
here. It
is possible to get a scholarship.
1.
As decided by our supporters we do not issue total scholarships. Because the current world economic crisis, the supporters of
our organization canceled all the completely free MBA courses in the 2009/2010 period. 2.
All partial scholarships must be paid in total, and not in installments. 3.
The scholarship application validity. Due to the great quantity of scholarship enrollments that we receive in each day, that compels
our Board to an extensive handling and paper work, his unique (total) payment must be done ties seven days after the date of the enrollment. After that date, a scholarship
application loses its validity.
How
to apply: Together with your enroll form, you need to
send an application asking for a partial scholarship. Please
send a separate
document, fully
detailing why you deserves to obtain a partial scholarship. You
need to fully describe your financial situation, why you need a scholarship,
etc. Your informations will never be disclosed.
Please
mention the value of the partial scholarship you
need.
Our Board will carefully examine the possibility to give you a
partial scholarship.
What
are the Fast-Track model
Many people, because of its
commitments, do not have time to attend a full course and to wait one year to get its MBA.
For these people, we have the Fast-Track MBA, one mini MBA covering the most essential
subjects.
We consider that it is not fair to discard to learn the essentials of a MBA, that
will help you in your professional life, only because at a specific period you do not have time to wait one year.
Obviously,
the Fast-Track MBA is less than the Regular MBA. But it is more fast, and for some people
this is more important at a specific moment of his life.
We suggest the following, as with many of our students:
1. Enroll in the Fast-Track, and paid in total, US$ 501.00. During four months,
you will receive the lessons and have the opportunity to compare with your
expectations.
2. After this four months, you will decide between to finish the Fast-Track MBA or to follow
with the Regular MBA in more eight months more or less. In this case, your first
payment of US$ 501.00 will be considered your first installment for the Regular
MBA,
remaining the three installments of US$ 475.00.

the end of your course you

Or
we send to you a multiple choice test,
In
each answer it is possible to include a comment like that: "The earth
is round?". Answer: "No, the Doctor X showed that the earth is
more elliptical than round, but the society believe that is round". As
you see, this is better than a simple "yes". It is not a
mathematical question-answer, but what you have in mind. More or less 25% of
the received "negative" answers was changed to
"positive" just because a corresponding comment was included.
-
Or
you write a six to 10 pages paper about the subject of the studied MBA.

How
to pay
After
your enrollment, you will receive an e-mail with the money transfer
details. To transfer, you will have several options for your choice.
You will be able to transfer
your payment using:
1. Western Union or Money Gram system
In this case, WU or MG only accept transfers on behalf of a person as a
destination (and not a company), and as we have students in 196 countries in which WU
or MG exists, we are obliged to accept these two transfers systems, using the
name of one of our directors as the destination person. Additionally, these transfers
are very safe (because go to a fully identified person), cheap (normally US$
15.00 up to US$ 20.00) and fast (normally in minutes).
2. Swift system, from bank account you bank account
In this case, you must go to any bank that uses the Swift bank transfer system (all use) and make the
transfer.
Because of the local cost charged by our bank, of almost US$ 50.00 per transfer, we only accept
Swift transfers in total payments of a course. Therefore, we do not accept in payments
for installments or scholarships. In these cases (installments or scholarships)
please use only the WU or the MG systems.

As
your course is individual, normally will start five work days after your

exist a legal obligation to do the entire course
No.
Can
I interrupt the course for any reason
Yes, if you do not have any over-due debit in your account. You can continue in the
future, starting from the point
that interrupted.
