THE FOLLOWING INCLUDE OTHER PROGRAMS WE RECOMMEND AND/OR VEND MATERIALS FOR AS WELL AS THE
ACCREDITED TRAINING SEMINARS WE OFFER ON AN OPTIONAL BASIS:
Prices shown for trainings represent a total for an entire class -- a minimum of 22 enrollees and a maximum of 55 enrollees, plus travel and per diem for the instructor. For example, a school or group may want to contract with us
for a 3-day training seminar or 20 inclass hours; the cost would be $3520 which equates to $160 per person, multiplied
times the minimum number of 22 enrollees. If a group or school doesn't have quite that many, the price is still the
same, but the cost would go up per person. If there were many more enrollees from the same school or group, the
cost would go down per enrollee. The cost of the seminar remains a constant. Tuitions from any enrollees above
the minimum of 22 accrue to the credit of the school or group and The Riggs Institute reserves the right to
add an additional five persons for a total of no more than 60 enrollees per class. Please call 1-800-200-4840 for
additional details. The one-day informational seminars can include any number of people your auditorium
can accommodate.
