>> If the course is 2.5 days I assume this means the number of billable
hours is about 20 or so, right? Assuming someone is teaching and/or
answering queries for the entire 20 hours, then the instructors would
receive approx. $500 per hour. A $10K budget would be reasonable assuming
other expenses are covered, viz., transportation, hotel, etc. The actual
hourly rate might be adjusted up or down depending on the qualifications
and individual skill levels of the instructors. If I were planning this
event, I would develop a cost analysis for each instructor on an hourly
basis adding in other expenses to assess the total seminar cost. Finally,
the fee structure could be based on assumptions of the expected turnout of
participants. Another suggestion is to contact a nearby university that
provides extension programs. Many graduate schools of business offer
seminars and quickie courses. Ask to see their fees, instructor emolument
levels, etc. Usually, there are brochures that describe the courses and a
listing of course fees. This would give you at least one additional handle
on what could be expected.
