Compare AI training costs
Ask for an itemized quote around an agreed task. A headline course price does not tell you what practice, support, or implementation work is included.
List the costs separately
Use this worksheet for each proposal:
Training fee:
Preparation/customization:
Participant time:
Travel or venue:
Tool subscriptions/API usage:
Implementation time:
Follow-up support:
Ongoing review and maintenance:
What is excluded:
Cancellation terms:Get current prices and terms from the provider. This page does not publish market price ranges or a confirmed AI Workshop price.
Ask what participants will leave with
Request a sample exercise, the acceptance checks, and the agenda’s practice time. Ask whether participants retain the materials and whether a working draft requires additional integration after training.
“Build an assistant” can mean a chat prompt, a prototype, or a connected system. Have the provider state the scope in the quote.
Compare value using your task
Measure the existing work and the assisted version, including review and corrections. Do not assume every minute released becomes cash savings.
The AI training value worksheet includes an explicitly hypothetical calculation and a record template you can use with your own measurements.
Make a smaller commitment first
If the task, data access, or acceptance rules are unclear, start by clarifying them. A bounded practice session or pilot can reveal what a larger program actually needs.
