John:

$500/day doesn't strike me as high but about the going rate. I note
that Beehive (www.beehive.de) are offering Zope training in
Washington, USA for exactly this amount. Given Beehive are based
in Berlin the situation seems analagous to the IBS uPortal training
on offer in Nottingham.

Personally, I don't get out of bed for less than 400quid/day
consultancy (unless I like the cut of my prospective client's
jib and then I do it for nothing).
