Abstract

In the past two years, the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus was a serious problem that affected all areas of social and economic life. This could not leave the education area unaffected at almost all levels, as the traditional education techniques were replaced with distance learning programs. At the sector of professional training, distance education had already done some work before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the need for its mass use also highlighted problems arising from its application. The survey aims to find out the degree of satisfaction of Public Institutes of Vocational Training (PIVT) students in Greece during the pandemic Covid-19 crisis. It also attempts to identify the factors that influence the level of satisfaction.

The results of the study demonstrate that the degree of satisfaction with online education depends both on the gender of the participants, as well as on their age and level of education.
