On-site Training

Reasons

There are several reasons to have us conduct classes at your site. The main motivation is cost saving; with as few as four users, you can save money. For example, we charge a flat day rate to conduct FrameMaker training for up to 12 users. We invoice the manuals on a per student basis, usually between $35 and $50 per student depending on the courses being taught.
For example, if we teach the The Essentials of FrameMaker and Other Basic Authoring Skills course, which is two days, to five students, you would pay the day rate of $950 for two days ($1900), plus five manuals at $48 each ($240) for a total of $2140, not including travel expenses. To send five students to public classes would cost you $995 for each student for a total of $4975; not included in that total are traveling and per diem expenses. This could come to $300 per day per person if your employees must fly and stay overnight.

The second motivation is we can focus exclusively on your users’ questions during an on-site training, whereas with a classroom training, we can’t.

A third motivation is gaining access to problems in current documentation. You may need to discuss problems you are having with your documents, but if that material is sensitive or proprietary, you certainly don’t want potential competitors to see your data. If you require it, we can sign a non-disclosure/non-competition agreement prior to conducting a training on-site.

Scheduling

Depending on the course, we can schedule it to meet your needs, even on weekends.
