Pricing
Companies may find it cost effective to contract for a private school if training as few as 5 to 10 employees. Various factors impact these numbers, including your proximity to an already-scheduled QC school, the cost of each individual registration, the number of hotel rooms you would occupy, and more. It is left to the company's discretion whether or not the private school option is right for them.
Costs
The total cost of a private school is the sum of two fees; an instructor fee (fixed) and a per-person certification administration fee. The instructor fee covers all of the instructor expenses, including his/her time (we use graduate engineers for all of our training), travel, meals, and accommodations. The instructor fee is due at the time the agreement is signed. No instructor will be released to secure travel or accommodations for a private school until the instructor fee is paid. A delay in payment of the instructor fee may compromise PCI’s ability to honor the selected dates of the private school. We therefore encourage individuals to submit payment with the signed contract.

The second part of the cost of a private school is the per-person certification administration fee. This fee covers the cost of all textbooks and handout materials for the training, the administration and grading of the examination(s), the preparation of certification credentials after the exam and shipping/postage costs. This fee is calculated based on the actual number of students trained and is, therefore, due after the private school event. PCI will not release the certification credentials of any individual until the balance is paid in full. These fees follow:
