Richard, While I'm not a student, would you clasify a student as 10% of the 'commercial' price? If not the only other classification I see is other, ouch!
Another point I'd like to make is if your going to charge $495.00 (just an example I know) per day for the full commercial rate, your not really going to get many "commercial" clients willing to go out to penrith for the training, when they can attend course in town or at worst parramatta. Will the training be backed up with course notes, trainers with training skills etc. This is in general what the more established companies provide. If you are going to charge commercial rates, you will be expected to provide a commercial service. On the other hand if you charged say $295.00, more people would willing to come out to penrith as the discount makes it worth it. I personally would be intested in, some of the administration stuff, but like any full paying customer would like to see course outlines etc before coughing up the cash. Will you have a website to promote you training activities? Hope this feedback assists Kind Regards Mehmet Ozdemir Original Message: ----------------- From: Richard Hayes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 10:05:23 +1100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Proposed joint trainning between TRIComm & CBNSW Dear list, Yesterday I collected the keys to our new facilities at Penrith. One of the main things TRIComm want to do is to increase the usage of their trainning facilities. What they want is a model for both organisations to work together. I suggest that we offer trainning in range of subjects from the very simple eg basic email / web etc all the way to advanced system administration. But all using a similar three tier pricing scheme Unemployed / disadvantaged / volunteers 10% of the 'commercial' price Paid employees of non-profit groups 35% of the commercial price Others 100% of commercial price eg 1 day training course in computer security $495 Unemployed people and unpaid voluenteers would paid $49.50 Paid staff of non profit groups would paid $173.25 Normal participants would paid $495 Please comment on both the idea of join operations and the suggested pricing model. regards, Richard Hayes -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
