Announcement of Price Increase, effective January 1, 2023

From the beginning we have dedicated ourselves to providing exceptional education and training for a reasonable price. As former service providers ourselves, we understand that most agencies are under-resourced, and so we have not raised prices since 2009.  We doubt any other training company of any sort can make that claim. 

Now, after 13 years of holding the line to support agencies in their vital work, current economic realities have forced us to make a modest price increase.  

Comparing our prices with those of other vendors offering comparable programs, you can see that we are still the most affordable training in the marketplace.

Individual certification and recertification costs

Beginning January 1, 2023, the cost for instructor certification will be $1,050; the cost for recertification will be $610.  

Group certification and recertification costs

Beginning January 1, 2023, if an agency wishes to host a training and have a team of instructors certified, we will train up to 14 people on site for $10,500, plus travel expenses (airfare, ground transportation, lodging, and meals) for the Master Instructor. Each additional instructor up to 18 is $800. The group rate for recertification is $6,100 in addition to travel expenses and each additional instructor up to 18 is $500.

What do the registration fees include?

Certification cost is all inclusive. Instructors receive a manual, teaching guides to both the prevention/support and physical skills curriculum, and have access to all other training materials at no additional cost through the instructor section of our website. These materials include the PowerPoint, tests, skill check-off sheets, and handouts for participants that follow the PowerPoint. The certification fee also covers ongoing technical assistance by email, telephone, or video conferencing.
