Common questions
Straight answers before you book a date.
Do you train onsite, remotely, or both?
Mostly onsite, at your location, anywhere in Ontario. Your team learns on their own machines, in the room they'll be working in the next morning. A live virtual session is available when a team is genuinely spread across multiple locations. Onsite or webinar: which fits your team?
How much does training cost?
Catalogue courses start at $750 CAD plus HST per level; Excel starts at $1,495 plus HST. A private onsite workshop for a whole team is quoted per session based on group size and scope. Additional costs for travel vary by location. You get the number in writing before anything is booked.
Who delivers the training?
Christopher Ross: the same instructor from first email to the day in the room. Lakeview Training is the onsite training brand; larger consulting work runs under thisismyurl.com.
Can you train a whole team at once?
Yes. An onsite workshop is built for a team learning the same tool together, at your pace and on your own files. Tell me what your team does and what you want them able to do afterward.
