which accomplishes the above is to 1) select a series of CI Centre
courses; 2) offer these courses on a regular basis (weekly, monthly,
bimonthly, etc); 3) for a multiyear period (multiyear contracts also get
price discounts).
We are a
'turn-key' company meaning we do all the work for your organization and
make you look good: We can register students, provide as many training
courses as you need on a weekly or monthly basis, use our fully-equipped
training facility in Alexandria, VA or go to your location, provide
certificates of training completion, and more.
Our courses contracted
at firm-fixed prices (NO time & material)
meaning no cost overruns for you. Our pricing model where
you don't have to pay for cost overruns and development means our prices
are lower than the national average--more savings to your organization.
We continually update
and enhance our
courses on our own time and money, not yours, because we own and
deliver our courses and want to make them the most relevant and timely
for you.
Can you modify CI Centre
courses to meet our organization's specific needs?
Yes! We can easily tailor courses for
your organization and take different modules in or out of a course so
that it's the most relevant for your organization's needs.
What are your class size minimums?
Class sizes are minimum 25 attendees. Our
classrooms in Alexandria, VA hold 25 to 30 people max. If we
give the course at your location, the size depends upon the room,
and it is still a per person per day cost. We also have special rates for
class sizes with a minimum of 12 attendees.
What is the length of the
courses? What time do they start and end?
The lengths of CI Centre courses range
from one day to five days. Starting and ending times are the decision of
the organization who buys the course.
How often are you able
to run courses for my organization?
As many times as your organization
needs the courses to be run. For example, if you have 500 employees you
need trained, let us know what course(s), how many times a year you want
to run the course. We can do once a week, once a month, once every other
month or whatever you choose so that your 500 employees can be trained
in the time you specify.
What are the
prices of the courses?
Please call Kristina Scholze or Adam Hahn at 703-642-7450 or
1-800-779-4007 or use our Contact Us
form to ask about our current different course prices for the
Government, Corporations, GSA Schedule, course minimums,
tailoring/modifying our courses to meet your organization's specific
needs, volume discounts on multi-year contracts, and more.
What
do other people say about CI Centre courses they've attended?
Since 1997 (for over 12 years!) when we began, attendees of our
courses have consistently given them the highest ratings. We have
more overwhelmingly positive course feedback/testimonies than we can
list, but feedback is listed on most of our course pages, plus an
overall sample is here and
here.
What's the best way to
evaluate a CI Centre course for my organization?
Run one pilot of the course for 25 select people in your
organization and then look at the course feedback. We have an
extensive feedback form for such a purpose or you can create your
own feedback form to collect the information you need to decide if
the course is right for your organization.
Can one of my people attend a course running for another client
so they evaluate it?
No--1) Course runnings are private for clients employees only; 2)
The course is modified to that particular client's organization, not
for your organization; 3) statistically one or two people are not
sufficient to adequately evaluate a course for an entire
organization.
Where are your courses held? Where are
you located?
The CI Centre is located in Alexandria, VA (just outside Washington,
DC). Our courses are held in our fully-equipped
training facility there or at your location anywhere in the US
or the world. Additional travel expenses apply for courses held
outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
