Price Bands
LVSC courses are devised for the VCS in London and priced to make them affordable. In practice, our courses are heavily subsidized to make them as accessible as possible to the smaller organisations who make up a significant proportion of the VCS workforce in London.
Short course prices
Our price bands have changed, we now differentiate between Management courses and other General courses. Price Band: G = General; M = Management.
M1, M2, G1, G2 etc, refers to the number of course days, so G2 is a 2 day general course; M1 is a 1-day management course, GH is a half day course.
We continue to use a sliding scale to support bookings from smaller to larger VCS organisations. Course fees are based on the size (the number of full-time equivalent employees) and type of your of your organisation = A - E.
Simply use the tables below to work out what a course rated G1, or M2, for example, will cost.
