On-Site Training
F1 Technologies is pleased to
offer onsite and custom training and mentoring services to help our customers
make the best use of Visual FoxPro, our products and other related
technologies. If you have special
needs, or a group of five or more developers that requires training, it is
often more cost effective as well as more productive to arrange for an onsite
course or private training offering for your group instead of taking our
regularly offered courses. This page lists our policies and prices for
training and mentoring services. For additional information about training and
mentoring, including preparing for training and mentoring services, please see
www.f1tech.com/mentoring.
Any of our courses can be taught
onsite at your offices or at a location you arrange as well as in our offices.
We can also tailor our training courses to specifically address your unique
needs.
Policies
Scheduling and
Staffing
Please contact
Mike Feltman to schedule training and mentoring and to discuss your
requirements. Mike will speak with our staff to determine the best personnel
to meet your needs and to check availability. After Mike
has made this
determination the person providing the training and mentoring will contact you
to work out additional details.
Travel
If the training or mentoring will take place
within the Toledo/Detroit, Cleveland or San Francisco metropolitan areas and
the person from F1 Technologies is coming from the corresponding office, there
is no charge for travel time. If the training will take place outside of these
areas or is being conducted by someone from a different office, you may be
charged for travel time if less than three days of consecutive training are
purchased. If a charge for for travel time applies you will be informed of
this prior to scheduling the training or mentoring.
Your organization is responsible
for our travel expenses if the training is conducted away from our offices.
Travel expenses are limited to airfare and/or mileage, hotel and rental car if
necessary. We do not charge for meals or other minor incidental
expenses.
F1 Technologies purchases
refundable airline tickets for remote training and mentoring, which are
generally more expensive than non-refundable tickets. If your organization
would like to save money on airfare by purchasing non-refundable tickets for
us, you may do so.
The F1 Technologies employee(s)
that provide the training and mentoring service may specify the airline on
which they wish to travel. If the cost to travel on an employees preferred
airline is more than 25% greater than the cost for comparable travel on
another airline, F1 Technologies will cover the difference in price.
F1 Technologies will allow you to
purchase airfare with a Saturday night stay option if the cost of the airfare
with a Saturday night stay is significantly less expensive than the cost of
the airfare without a Saturday night stay. If training or mentoring does not
occur on the Saturday of the stay or the Sunday following the stay, you will
be charged for one-half day of training on that day.
Our hotel requirements vary by
employee, but none of us have extravagant needs. A hotel with in-room data
ports is required and generally an onsite restaurant is preferred. We do
prefer that you make billing and payment arrangements with the hotel where our
employee(s) will be staying.
Billing
If multiple organizations are
participating in the training, F1 Technologies will deal with one primary
organization for billing purposes.
For training and mentoring
conducted away from our offices we do require that one-half of the fees are
paid in advance. Remaining fees and expenses incurred while on location will
be billed Net 10 after the training and mentoring are completed. Expenses
incurred by F1 Technologies in advance of training and mentoring are billed
immediately and due upon receipt. For large corporations, government
organizations or customers with a good past credit history with us we can make
exceptions to this if absolutely necessary.
Preparation
Time
If you are purchasing customized
training or mentoring from F1 Technologies that requires significant
preparation time on our behalf, you will be charged our standard consulting
rates for this preparation time. If the F1 Technologies employee
providing the training or mentoring recognizes the need for preparation time
you will be provided notification of this and an estimate of the number of
hours of preparation time required prior to incurring any expense for
preparation time.
Audio Visual
F1 Technologies owns a
high-quality projection system that it will supply, based on availability, for
use with training and mentoring. If training is conducted outside of our
offices it is your responsibility to provide a screen or other suitable
surface for projection and any other necessary audio visual equipment.
Rates
Training and mentoring can be
purchased in one-day increments. The table below lists our prices
for training and mentoring services based on the number of people in
attendance. These prices represent a significant savings when compared to the
cost of our regular courses. A day consists of eight actual hours of training
or mentoring services.
