2.4 How much should I charge for my courses?

The charge for the examination and certification is completely separate to any fee charged for the
training you deliver.
An AST will usually charge a fee for any training course leading up to a certification. The cost of the
course per student will usually reflect the length, skills level and costs involved in running the course
and is at the discretion of the AST .
For example, it would be expected that a Professional level course would be charged at a significantly
higher cost than a Foundation level course, as it is likely to last several days, demand a greater
knowledge from the trainer, and potentially require a greater level of equipment and ingredients.
As a guideline only, you may expect to charge the following per student daily rate for your courses:
• Foundation €150.00 per day
• Intermediate €200.00 per day
• Professional €300.00 per day
Remember that this is a suggested per student daily rate and that some courses last for several days. It is
important that we represent the quality of the courses we offer and these suggested charges would
.be seen as good value if compared with similar professional courses in other industries
