IMPORTANT DATES

The majority of our online courses are taught in English ONLY. Although a few courses may also be taught in Greek, students whose native language is not English must hold  at least an Advanced level English Certificate (Any internationally accepted C1 or C2 certificate is acceptable, such as Michigan ALCE or ECPE, Cambridge CAE or CPE, TOEFL score of 110 or above) in order to apply successfully. In a very few cases we may be able to accept  students without such certification who are able to demonstrate a satisfactory use of English.

As also stated elsewhere on our website, although our priority is to offer a flexible and enjoyable learning experience, we also adhere to a high academic level, which requires a significant time commitment on the part of our students. Indicatively, a standalone introductory course running for 8 weeks requires 10-15 hours of study per week. 

Deadlines  are strictly adhered to, as are participation requirements, and no “makeup” time can be allowed except in extreme cases, subject to the instructors’ and director’s discretion. 

Prospective students should familiarise themselves with our evaluation methods and requirements prior to application, and select the course tier and mode of study most appropriate for their lifestyle and other work/study commitments. Further advice on this point is available upon request.

Different fee structures apply to the various study tiers that we offer, and depending on membership  level or student status,  students may be eligible for discounts on certain courses or segments of their module. Please familiarise yourself with the fee structure before applying. 

 The following fees apply  to Phoenix Rising Academy Courses for the duration of the Academic year commencing in October 2011. Updated fees may apply from the Autumn term of 2012. Participation fees for Seminars, Lectures, Workshops and Events are calculated separately.
