In House Training
In-house Training
If an organisation has 22 people to be trained, a more cost-effective option is to have the workshop held on its premises. We call this a hosted workshop. The host organisation is required to provide a suitable room to accommodate the workshop and lunch/snacks for all participants. The room should be equipped with an overhead projector, flip chart, TV, video/DVD player and CD player.
We charge the host organisation a flat fee of €2,500 (UK £2,500) and the expenses of the two tutors carrying out the workshop. We try to minimise these expenses and use tutors who are based closest to the workshop location. The total cost of the workshop (including fee, tutor expenses and kits) generally works out at between €3,700 and €3,900 (UK £3,700 - £3,900). The variable cost is the number of kits required and the tutor expenses. Once an organisation is interested in hosting, we check availability of tutors so that we can give a clearer estimate of the total cost of the workshop.
