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.
