If you host the course, the cost is $300/person based on ten registrants. Every additional participant is $275. This includes an experienced Trainer for a day, a manual for each participant and personalized certificates upon completion.

The Host is responsible for arranging the venue and refreshments/lunch and for covering Trainer travel costs, which are minimal as we try to book the closest Trainer to your location. As an option, the Host can set their own price per participant in order to cover the costs of food and travel.

 What participants had to say......

I gained an understanding of how elected officials and economic development interact...I now know how to support economic developers in their role and how economic developers and the business community interact.
