How booking works
- 1 Register, and tell us whether you need a purchase order.
- 2 Your invoice arrives within one working day and appears in your croit portal, where you can pay it by card or bank transfer.
- 3 Places are allocated in order of payment. If a run fills first, we offer you the next available date.
- 4 Joining details, the final schedule and your lab access arrive about a week before the start.
Questions before you book
Classes are capped at 22 participants so every question gets answered and the lab stays hands-on. A date runs once it has 4 paid bookings, and is then marked as guaranteed to run. If a date does not reach its minimum, it is rescheduled to the next available date and every booking moves with it.
There is no checkout on the website. Registering places an order; your invoice arrives within one working day and appears in your croit portal, where you can pay by card or bank transfer. Places are allocated in order of payment, so paying promptly secures your date. If a run fills first, we offer you the next available date.
Yes. Say so when you register and you receive a quote instead of an invoice, ready for procurement. Send us the purchase order number once you have it and we invoice against it. A purchase order usually takes three to six weeks to clear, so for a run starting sooner than that we may suggest a later date.
All prices are quoted excluding VAT. Businesses in Germany are invoiced with 19% German VAT. Businesses elsewhere in the EU with a valid VAT ID are invoiced net under the reverse-charge rule, and businesses outside the EU are invoiced without German VAT. Enter your VAT ID when you register so the invoice is right the first time.
The Proxmox VE training certificate is issued by Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH, the makers of Proxmox VE. croit is an official Proxmox Training Partner, so the certificate is the manufacturer's, not ours. Workshops close with a croit certificate of completion.
