We're looking for training at the lowest possible price – so what's your best deal?

Well, if all that you're looking at is the "bottom line" price tag in dollars and cents, then we're probably not going to be the training vendor you choose. On the other hand, if you're trying to save "real money" in the long run, then our training is 100% guaranteed to help.

It's no more complicated than buying laundry detergent. Every smart shopper knows that the half-priced brand isn't really a bargain – not when you need four times as much as the "good" stuff to get the clothes clean. Once you've made the "actual cost" comparison for PLC training, you'll choose us every time.

Here's an easy to do example: Compare the material that we cover in our five-day PLC Boot Camps with the material that our competitors cover in one of their five-day classes. Match up the lists of topics and you'll usually find that it takes two (or even three) of their oranges to equal one of our apples. "Five days of training" are not always equal to "five days of training" – but the real differences aren't obvious until you dig into the details. So do the math and find out how much it really costs to give your technicians all of the PLC skills they need. And don't forget the expenses for travel, lodging, scheduling, etc. required for those extra sessions that you'll need with the other guys.

Next consider how much material the students will "take home" with them. Our Problem/Solution training method insures a much higher retention rate than traditional Lecture/Lab approaches. Our website includes an extensive list of comments from our former students – and from some popular public PLC forums. Just read through a few of those for a quick idea of how much more "in depth" and effective our classes are when compared to other training programs.

Another area to watch is the class size. We keep our classes small – only six students at the most. Some of our competitors cut their costs by enrolling as many as eighteen students in each class. Naturally the amount of instructor attention suffers – but the biggest disadvantage comes at lab time. Many of the bargain vendors assign two (or even more) students to each training station. We recognize that most of the actual “learning” takes place during the hands-on projects – so we never assign more than one student to a workstation. If you’re paying for “hands-on” training, make sure that your personnel are getting their fair share of it.

Finally, every meaningful cost comparison should always consider the "value received" and not just the "bottom line" price tag. Our classes cover more useful material, at a far greater depth, with much better retention, than any other PLC training available. That's what we mean when we say "effective" PLC training.
