Price Guide to MaDGiraffe's Training Services - good value, good quality, good sense.

We set our fees based on allowing sufficient time to understand our client's needs, and in respect of our training workshop fees, we take into account, research, preparation, delivery and supplying any follow-up work required.

As a guide, Training Workshops are charged at between £150 and £300 per full day for up to 20 participants and a proportionate amount for a part day. This is based on the client providing accommodation for the workshop and refreshments for trainers and participants.
