Customized On-Site and Online Training
Customized Training Rates
Standard rate: $80/hour for 1-on-1, $20/hour per each additional person.
Special non-profit & freelance rate: $60/hour
Additional discounts may be available for hobbyists and home users.
Discounts offered on training sessions longer than 4 hours. Modest travel fees may be assessed. |
Our customized training achieves real-world results. We adapt curriculum to relying on your own files and projects, so that training always perfectly suits your needs. In this way, the training is much more relevant, and you are left not only with better knowledge, but a functional design for your project as well.
Customized training is delivered in one of two methods. We prefer that at least the initial training session be conducted on-site, as this is typically the most conducive to learning. However, for remote locations and follow-up sessions, we offer a fully interactive online training room, in which participants can communicate via telephone while sharing their computer screens across the Internet.
