FAQ

  • How does Prowibo Online work?

Prowibo Online is an exciting new initiative designed to connect leading academics and professionals with institutions worldwide with just a click. We have a team of volunteers from all over the globe who work around the clock to find experts in various fields to fill the knowledge gap. Prowibo Online recruits leading academics from reputable institutions to conduct virtual guest lectures for businesses and university classes. 

  • What level of education does Prowibo Online provide?
Our professors are experienced in teaching university-level courses. All programmes are aimed at university students but assume no prior knowledge in the taught subject. As classes are student-focused, the teacher adapts to the level of the students and the class dynamic plays a big role in shaping the content and pace of the course.
  • Who teaches the courses?

Our courses are taught by academics and professionals who are experts in their field. All our professors go through a thorough selection process ensuring that we only bring the best and most inspiring people to our students. Furthermore, many professors have come from the world’s leading academic institutions, international organisations and companies.

We are currently funded through generous private donations. Our educators volunteer their time and are not paid.  Our founders and support staff are all volunteers. If would like to support us, please visit our page.
