The in-house IT Trainer at UCN offers one-hour sessions for our students on
their own computer, at £50/hour including travel within 30 mile radius of
base. We have found that a three hour session is often too long for
dyslexic students, who can often not benefit from more that an hour at a
time. We plan to increase the rate for one hour sessions to £55/hour next
academic year.

CCPD bills £300 for 6 hours training, so that's the same rate, Kevin!
Microlink quote 6-8 hours training for £350.
However, a half-day (3 hours) is billed at £200 by us. The higher charge is
to compensate for the fact that the all our training takes place at the
student's home on their own equipment. As a result the Trainer is often
unable to fit in any more work that day, for logistical reasons.
The general feedback from our Trainers and Students is that even 6 hours
(excluding lunch break) is too much for a lot of people. Multiple 3 hour
sessions are generally more popular.
