3.  Is there a charge for designing and developing a custom program?

No, not for the typical custom program (1/2-day to 5-days).  Before we issue a cost proposal, we work with you to tailor a program that meets your training and educational goals and objectives. However, the agenda developed by us is copyrighted by us and can not be used without charge.

4.  Do you have any custom programs other than those I've seen on your web site?

We can design any custom program to meet your training objectives and goals. Very few of our custom clients use any of our programs "off-the-shelf" and most mix topics from different courses. We often blend in with our training sessions developed and taught by the client's own staff with our training.

back to top

5.  Can our custom program from TheCapitol.Net program include topics presented by our own staff and trainers?

Yes, we can work with you to build a training program that includes topics presented by a combination of our faculty and your in-house trainers and experts. Examples include:

  • An executive of the client organization presented a 15 minute welcome and overview of the client's mission.

  • We designed and our faculty presented a 5-day program with several one hour sessions presented by the client's experts.

  • Our faculty presented one hour as part of a client's multi-day program.

6.  How many people can you train in a custom program?

In our custom programs, we have trained as few as one person and as many as 750 people at one time. Most of our on-site and online training programs have between 15 and 40 people and are cost-effective, when compared to our public course registration fees alone, when the training group numbers at least 15 to 20 people. 

back to top

7.  How is the program fee determined?

After we agree on the agenda and training goals, we will discuss your program with our faculty and select the faculty we believe are most qualified to meet the training goals and present most effectively the tailored program to your attendees. The fee for each program depends on the location, number of attendees, length, and training materials used. Our minimum fee for custom, on-site training for new clients is $3500. Call us for details, or complete our custom program information request for more information. 

8.  What does the program fee include?

We provide pre-program development and design, materials for your internal marketing and promotion, all course materials, and faculty chosen for your topic and your audience at the time and location you choose. 

Our custom program clients provide the classroom/meeting space, audio visual equipment, program facilitation, food and beverages for attendees, training certificates, CLE and CEU arrangements, all marketing and registration functions, and travel arrangements for attendees. We can provide an online venue for custom online training using Adobe Connect.

When a custom training program is held outside the Washington, DC, metro area, travel arrangements for faculty are usually made by the client. We can make all necessary travel arrangements.

We can also provide an online venue for custom online training using Adobe Connect or Zoom.
