Training Costs and Payment Policies

In Person Workshops

In general our per person early registration tuition charges are based on an amount of $140 per 6 hour day.

This means that our typical 2 1/2 day Introduction to Appreciative Inquiry workshop costs $350

When people register at the same time for a follow-up 2 1/2 event such as an Introduction to Coaching the participant receives a $50 discount making the week long program $650.

An additional fee is charged for commuter or residential accommodation for the use of the training facility. See below for the accommodation charges.

Late registration fees of $50 are typically assigned within one month of a training program to cover the additional costs for notification of retreat centers within the one month pre-training time frame.

Week-Long Programs

Tuition for week long programs such as the advanced coaching are based on a price of $650 per week. The Appreciative Leadership for Managing Change costs an additional $200 to cover the cost of the Executive Leadership assessments used in the training program.

Tuition for special events such as the cruises is based on the above but depends on the specific event and the nature of the costs involved.

These general costs assume that there is one presenter for the program. When additional instructors are present, prices may vary.

Discounts and Group Rates

A discount (typically $50) may be provided through a sponsoring organization or a former student. Please check the individual registration page for details.

Group rates are available for most programs except the Leadership for Managing Change Program. In general for every five people registered in your group a sixth person will receive free tuition. Accommodation costs will still apply.

For more information or questions or setting up group discounts please contact Kim Voyle

Accommodation and Commuter Fees

Residential Accommodation

Most of our training programs are held at retreat centers and provide accommodation for out of town participants. These costs are additional to the tuition. There is great variability in the accommodation costs from one retreat center to another. At this stage most facilities cost around a $100 per day to provide three meals, a single room, and for the use of the training room.

Commuter Fees

Our tuition fees for each program remain the same at the differing locations we hold our training programs. Each facility charges us differently for commuter's meals, daily beverages and snacks, and the use of the training facility. Consequently a commuter fee is added to the registration.

Because we seek to develop a learning community during a training program we schedule and arrange meals for those times between training sessions. This will include lunches, and an evening meal if the program goes into an evening. The commuter rate includes the cost for these meals, daily beverage and snacks, and a portion of the training facility fee which is charged by the retreat center. These costs vary with the training facility. The actual prices will be found on the registration page for each event.

Teleconference Fees

In general group teleconferences cost $25 per session. Our year long teleconferences in the Certificate in Appreciative Coaching and Certificate in Interim Ministry cost $1000, payable in two installments.

Registration and Payment Policies

All registrations are made via the secure server at the registration website.
