Prices and pricing policy.
Pricing policy:
We strive to keep our prices as low as possible commensurate with delivering excellence.
Our second principle transparency: nobody ever pays anything other than our published prices so you never have to wonder whether anybody else is paying less than you, they are not. Many of our customers buy substantial numbers of courses, and our prices are geared towards such 'bulk purchases'.
Prices are reviewed at the beginning of each year and any changes in prices take effect on the first day of the following May.
Prices for training courses we bring to you:
3-day courses: $6,595 (plus tutor travel and accommodation expenses) for a group of up to 15 people.
2-day courses: $4,695 (plus tutor travel and accommodation expenses) for a group of up to 15 people.
1-day course: $2,610 (plus tutor travel and accommodation expenses) for a group of up to 15 people.
Half-day course: $2,510 (plus tutor travel and accommodation expenses) for a group of up to 15 people.
Extra delegates: $140 per person per day.
Extended course or diploma: varies depending on the number of modules chosen (please contact us for details or see the specific course page).
The DBT Masterclass: $8,995 (plus tutor travel and accommodation expenses) for a group of up to 15 people.
For all the above, you provide a good teaching room and any refreshments (coffee and tea, lunches if you want them) and of course the participants. We do the rest: course workbooks, registration, certification, APT-Accreditation, and access to post-course resources where appropriate.
Online Courses:
18 hour courses: $295 per person.
12 hour courses: $208 plus VAT per person.
3 hour courses: $60 plus VAT per person.
1 hour courses: $36 plus VAT per person.
Price guarantee for group bookings: only pay for courses your team members complete (minimum 15).
Prices for APT Live Webinars commissioned by an organisation
Most of our courses can be provided as live webinars. A webinar typically takes slightly less time than the live course on which it is based (because of less group discussion and group exercises) but they are live and pleasingly interactive. A live webinar also costs around 25% less than the live course on which it is based.
Prices for the APT’s live webinars:
- Based on any of the APT’s 3-day courses: $6,330 for a group of up to 15 people.
- Based on any of the APT’s 2-day courses: $4,375 for a group of up to 15 people.
- Based on any of the APT’s 1-day courses: $2,360 for a group of up to 15 people.
- Based on any of the APT’s half-day courses: $1,125 for a group of up to 15 people.
- Extra delegates: $150 per person per day or part of day.
To see the webinars available simply see our courses, nearly all of them are available as webinars. (The ones that aren’t are the skills based ones and the ones that rely on a lot of live practice.)
Delegates can be anywhere that is conducive to concentrating, all together or separate, so long as they have access to a computer with a good internet connection.
Webinars from the APT are the only ones that automatically include registration and certification, APT-accreditation and access to any post-course resources.
Examinations:
Online exam: $165 per person. Available for most courses both live and online; upgrades APT accreditation to the next level.
ou must have had the relevant training before sitting an APT exam, but that training may be from another provider, in which case it needs to be verified, see below.
Verification of equivalence:
You can submit evidence of previous training to claim equivalence to an APT course. For example if you have had training you believe to be equivalent to APT’s DBT Essentials, you can submit what you believe to be evidence of this. There is a reading fee of $165, regardless of whether your submission is successful.
Refresher training:
The online DICES® refresher: $100
Other online refresher courses: $165
Refreshing / renewing accreditation by submitting evidence of practice: $165
1-day live refresher course: $2,610 (plus tutor travel and accommodation expenses) for a group of up to 15 people.
Refresher courses are available only to those who have attended the corresponding live or online APT course. All online refresher courses include the online exam in the subject, successful completion of which upgrades your APT accreditation to the next level.
