For this, he gave subsidies for courses which in the beginning was even 12-15 rubles, and now they are not really. Disappeared also the bonus system, and although we hoped that they would not help us all the time, today the reality is that we can’t earn money to pay taxes and fees for the conduct of business activities. Most of us pay at the full rate, – compla ins Witold, co-organizer of the strike.

Courses for the elite?

In this regard, do not expect difficulties in the access to the application”.
