Hosting or Sponsoring a Training
Two Options
Option 1- Host a Training
Provide a room for the training
Assist with refreshments
Assist with advertising (when possible)
Have a minimum of 5 individuals attend free in return for hosting
(may negotiate additional people attending free or at a reduced rate)
Assist with local and State CEU credit compliance as needed
(some states require that the hosting agency formally sponsor the training and that the
agency takes care of CEU/training paperwork)

Option 2- Sponsor a Training
Negotiate a flat rate for the training to allow as many individuals to
attend as possible (this may/may not include travel expenses)
Provide a room for the training
Assist with making copies of the training materials
Assist with refreshments (I supply the coffee and beverages, just
need some assistance with placing them out & use of coffee pot)
Assist with advertising (when possible)
Your agency collects registration fees from other
agencies/individuals attending or splits the total cost with other
agencies. This is often more cost effective because 1) it allows for
unlimited number of officers to attend, and 2) the sponsoring
agency can recoup the costs by charging a fee for other agencies
to send their officers to the training. This has been effective for
several agencies. In fact, often times the sponsoring agency
recoups all of their training costs and have many of their officers
attend for free!
Half of the training fee is paid when the training date is
scheduled; the other half is due on the last day of training.

Call to discuss any of the above options or to negotiate your own
training package.

Example of how option two saves your agency money: Typically the
training is $4,000 for the two day training. This breaks down to only:
  • $80 per officer if 50 people attend;
  • $57 if 70 people attend;
  • $40 per person if 100 people attend.

If the hosting agency has other departments cover part of the cost, the
fees per agency are even less!
If Sponsoring a training, the costs for the presenter may include:
  • a flat daily rate
  • travel expenses (includes air, hotel). These are paid directly by the sponsoring agency
  • Training fees are due no later than the first day of the training
