Short Course Presentation

at your Company

 

We are pleased to be able to present our short course at your company’s site as a cost effective method to deliver surfactant training to large numbers of employees without the added expense of employee travel, either here in the US or anywhere in the world.   The  course has been previously presented at companies in England, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, The Philippines, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United States.

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

The course is structured to take two and one-half days.  It begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m., with a half hour for lunch, usually at 12 noon to 12:30 p.m.  The third day of the course begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 12 noon.  This schedule can be adjusted if your company has different opening and closing times or wants a different lunch time.

Costs for the course include a general fee, and expenses for two instructors for the two and one-half days of the course.  Expenses for the instructors would include airfare, hotel, meals, etc.  In addition, there will be a charge for the notebook each student receives for the course.  

The cost for an on-site presentation can vary if two courses are scheduled near each other in time and distance.  For example, we regularly schedule courses in Amsterdam and Bangkok.  If a course in the same area of the world is scheduled prior to or just after one of these courses or in conjunction with another on-site course being offered nearby, the travel expenses are pro-rated to reduce the expense of offering the couse at your site.  

 

FIRST-TIME COURSE OFFERING AT A COMPANY

The first time the short course is presented at a company, the fee is $15,000, plus expenses for the two instructors, and cost of the notebooks.  The cost of the notebook when the course is held inside the US is $180 per person and the cost when the course is held outside the US is $235 per person.  The higher amount for international courses is to cover additional shipping expenses.

 

REPEAT AND IASR MEMBER COMPANIES

For companies at which the course has been presented previously and sponsors of IASR (Institute for Applied Surfactant Research at the University of Oklahoma), the fee will be $13,500, plus expenses for two instructors, and cost of notebooks.  The cost of the notebook when the course is held inside the US is $180 per person and the cost when the course is held outside the US is $235 per person.  The higher amount for international courses is to cover additional shipping expenses.  Sponsorship of IASR is $8,000 per year and brings with it benefits beyond the reduced fee structure.  Information about IASR can be found at http://www.cems.ou.edu/iasr/.

 

CONSULTING

Sometimes a company also wants to schedule consulting time while the instructors are there.  The fee for consulting is $200 per hour ($1,600 per day per person or $800 per half-day per person) plus expenses.  The consulting time is usually scheduled for the afternoon of the third day, following the short course, but can be at another time.
