Program Fee Information
We make every effort to keep our programs affordable and accessible. However, during these fiscally challenging times we are expected to operate at a “self-sustaining” level. RRPD will add up to 30% on the instructor fee plus $2 to get the advertised fee.
Here’s an example based on adding 30%: If the instructor wants $50 per person then RRPD will add an additional $17.00 (30% of $50, + $2) to the instructor fee. The instructor would get $50 per person and RRPD would get $17 per person. The course fee would be advertised at $67. Instructors may also elect to split the net class profit 70/30 with 70% going to the instructor and up to 30% going to RRPD. Please keep this in mind as you set your fees for salary requests and supplies. Please note that lab fees can be charged to the student and are payable directly to the instructor.
All proposals must be received a minimum of 2 months in advance of the anticipated start date.
Should you have any questions, or need some assistance in helping to create or modify a course proposal, please feel free to call. We look forward to hearing from you and having you as part of our program team.
