When a course or program
is licensed from us, we routinely tailor that product to meet our
clients’ specific needs. Most
clients prefer to have this customization of our existing materials
provided to them. Occasionally,
clients who have their own curriculum development specialists will opt to
license materials without our customization services.
We also design and
develop new courses at a training partner’s request.
In addition to tailoring
existing curriculum materials to meet the needs of our partners, at your
request, our instructional development specialists will custom-design a
new course or seminar topic according to your needs and specifications.
Services and fees vary according to the length, complexity, and
technical requirements of the project.

* A Note Regarding Content Experts
It
is important to engage the services of a content specialist whose
availability and expertise will enable us to provide high quality

we have our own in-house expertise or you have an expert within your own
organization whose services can be utilized, we will be happy to present
you with fee estimates that reflect all service options. We work with you to find the best combination of high quality
service and cost-effective fees.
