No one likes surprises when it comes to unexpected costs. We recognise that as a busy school leader you don't want to spend valuable time sending pricing enquiries to CPD providers, so we present on this page our costings in full. This should allow you to calculate an accurate estimate for the session you require.
Alternatively, we would be happy to send you a formal proposal and estimate. Simply complete the no obligation booking enquiry form, and tick the 'Costing' option when prompted.

In addition to the Facilitator Fee above, the following Additional Costs apply for face to face INSET bookings.
Travel costs
Travel costs
Your facilitator will usually arrive by car. Mileage is charged at the standard AMAPS rate, which is currently 45 pence per mile. Mileage costs can be estimated by checking the distance between your school and OX28 2JB using the 'Directions' feature of Google Maps, then multiplying the number of miles by £0.90 to account for the outward and return journeys.
For schools that are further away from our base in West Oxfordshire, your facilitator may instead use public transport and taxis and recharge these expenses at cost.
Accommodation costs
Accommodation costs
For schools that are far enough away from our base in West Oxfordshire to require a hotel stay, accommodation costs will be added for a night's stay at a reasonable local hotel. Accommodation is not usually necessary for twilight INSETs.

Invoicing, payment and cancellations
Invoicing, payment and cancellations
An invoice will be submitted after the session has been delivered. We do not ask for a deposit, but reserve the right to charge a Cancellation Fee if a session is cancelled by the client at notice of less than 30 calendar days. Within 30 calendar days of the scheduled booking date, the Cancellation Fee is 50% of the applicable Minimum Fee. Within seven calendar days of the scheduled booking date the Cancellation Fee is 100% of the applicable Minimum Fee. Any non-refundable expense already incurred may also be charged.
N.B. The Cancellation Fee will be waived in the event of another national lockdown affecting a booking. We will always use our best endeavours to negotiate a better outcome than charging a Cancellation Fee, but reserve the right to do so.
