Customized Training

Do you need training for a group of employees, or even your entire unit? HRD Custom Training Services can bring the professional development expertise you need to your location!

Custom Training Benefits

Custom Training “Flat Rate” Pricing

Custom courses listed in this catalog or on our website are typically charged a flat rate based on the cost of 15 participants.* For example, if the published cost of an HRD class is $139 per participant, the custom course could be brought to your location for $2085 (15 x $139).

This flat rate applies regardless of the number of participants, so if you need training for more than 15 participants, custom training can provide an opportunity for cost savings as compared to having the same number of individuals attend courses at HRD.

*This pricing is valid for FY2009, but could change in subsequent years. For any courses that have substantial material costs, there could be a per-participant materials charge for additional participants over 15. Instructors have the right to limit the class size based on the training format or room constraints. This pricing does not apply to Foundations of Supervision or Quick Start for Supervisors. Costs could be higher if substantial customization of the material is needed.
