44 AEE 2011 C ATALOG OF SEMINARS — IN-HOUSE SEMINARS
Most of the live seminar programs described inthis catalog can also be arranged to be instructedon an in-house basis at your facility. Simply callthe number below for further information or to ar-range a program for your organization.
ADVANTAGES OF IN-HOUSE TRAININGMost companies realize the importance of keeping key personnel up tospeed on the latest developments in the energy field which impact their deci-sions. However, having an entire team exposed to the same body of instruc-tion at the same time has the added benefit of motivating everyone to worktogether to accomplish specific goals. In-house programs have a proventrack record of promoting cooperation, involvement, and results-oriented atti-tudes.
In addition, by having a seminar conducted in-house, you can work with thecourse instructor to assure greatest emphasis on those areas most relevantto your operations and goals. Questions can often be answered in greaterdetail than is possible in a seminar whose participants come from many com-panies.
COST ADVANTAGEYou can train up to 20 members of your staff for one flat fee (or a specifiedfee for each additional student up to 65) — AND you won’t have to pay youremployees’ travel costs, nor lose their valuable work time before and after theseminar. The following fee schedule is applicable for most programs:
If a course is highly customized to meet your organization’s needs, or mustbe extended in scope, your fee may need to be adjusted. The In-HouseSeminar Coordinator can provide you with a specific quotation.
All arrangements with the instructor are handled by the In-House SeminarCoordinator. Your organization is responsible for providing a suitable locationfor instruction and for furnishing audiovisual equipment as specified by theinstructor. AEE will provide each seminar participant with a course workbook.
