For the disabled
CIE is not indifferent to the fate of individuals who are disabled or physically handicapped, and for that reason we not only financially support organizations that help these people integrate into ordinary life through inclusion. We help, among others, non-profit organizations and civil societies that care for the visually impaired, the blind, single mothers and the elderly. We also offer the possibility of education for blind people with the help of an assistant, for individuals with disabilities, the hearing impaired and the socially disadvantaged.

For every disabled student, we have prepared a special Individual Education Study Plan with an extraordinary study discount.

Tax relief (depends on the legislation of a specific country)
As a natural person - self-employed, you can apply the funds spent on your studies to your taxes as a reduction of the tax base.

The employer can claim the study as income tax expenses as expenses for the professional development of employees.
