COST COMPARISON: IN-CLASS TRAINING
A Hypothetical Situation:
• Construction & Engineering company
• Several offices throughout North America
• 50 front-line supervisors
• Corporate office has two classroom facilities
• Contract out an Instructor
• Twice a year, the 50 employees travel to head office to take part
in two days of training

Travel expenses for 50 employees twice a year ($800/trip)
Instructor (1) costs ($1k /day x 4)
Facility costs (food, drinks, room upkeep)
Loss of time on the job (50 employees, 4 days a year, $50/hr)
Total Annual Expense
