Spare Parts Training Cost

Subject Area: Spare Parts Training Cost

Selecting the Best Spare Parts Management Training for You


 

Now you might be wondering why, so far in this series, I have not yet mentioned cost.

That’s because if cost really was a key influence on training decision-making, then nobody would attend an out-of-town conference or training event.

They are by far the most expensive option.

You need an event ticket.
Sometimes you pay extra for pre and post event workshops.
You need several days of accommodation.
Airfares.
Ground transport.

So cost, it seems, is not a major consideration.

Pricing for training varies considerably.

A short course (a few days) of online training from a global training institute will easily cost you US$3,000 per person.

At the other end of the spectrum, you can find videos on You Tube for free (including some of mine).

Everyone has a budget but often the cost is not the issue.

My suggestion is that you consider my top 5 selection criteria discussed in this series and focus on the opportunity to learn what you need to learn.

Then go and fight for your budget.

Summary

To summarize, let’s compare the options.

Ultimately, the approach you take is up to you.

However, if your need is for training in MRO and spare parts inventory management and you care about content, credibility, convenience, time, support, and even cost, then SparePartsKnowHow provides the optimal solution.
