From a teacher's perspective, maybe some improvements could be made in the use of the platform as it is not always very intuitive or flexible.
Go somewhere else, there are plenty of other platforms that take less money for much better services.
Apprentus are rats.
Of course, their community manager will respond to this message and say otherwise.
Here are some details:
- The students must pay for creating an account. Then Apprentus take commissions fee for each lesson.
If a teacher asks for 25€/h, Apprentus will charge around 28€/h to the students. Which is huge when you think about it!
Thus, in that example, for 30h of course, apprentus will take 100€ from you !
And then they will tell you that they don't take commissions fee...
- They absolutely want the student to book the classes on their platform. Why? Because otherwise, bye bye the commission fee.
- It is impossible to exchange contact details or document between teacher and students before booking a lesson.
- Impossible to offer a first free hour of lesson to test and evaluate the need of the students.
It is not a website to promote knowledge sharing, it is a website to make money. Not for the teachers, but for the owners.
"Apprehend-us to learn & teach"
There was a gap of a few days between seeing that my student had paid Apprentus, but not having received anything from them - yet not to worry as payment now has been made. I would be interested to see how Apprentus could expand their reach by connecting with other social media platforms.
