Need info about wording of training contract

[Sparky]

Like most trainers eventually do, I am looking into doing some training on the side for a little extra money.

Agencies usually "host" training, providing the space, slots, etc under the agreement that the hosting department can send one officer for free for every one or two officers from outside agencies who pay a course fee.

Or...agencies can "sponsor" training where they pay a flat fee and may or may not provide the space, etc.

Do any of you trainers out there have examples of the wording for the training contract?

Or perhaps a referral to a source that has them?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I figure it would be pretty long, so let me know if you have something and I will send you or post my fax number.

I might recommend that you contact David E. Zulawski of Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates. The are great trainers and former officers that really appear to want to help people out. You can make contact via email on their web page located at www.W-Z.com. (http://www.W-Z.com.)
Good luck to you!

Thanks King, I just e-mailed them what i am sure is a very strange request.

I gather that you have been to their course...what did you think? How did it compare to other I&I training you may have had?

Are they mostly Kinesics, or do they get into linguistics, etc.???

I am begining to think that most of these I&I courses are mostly variations on a theme. I'd love to go to all of them, but they are so darn expensive!! It'd be great if you could post a thread about what you think!!

Sparky,

Many administrators get nervous when a contract is mentioned. I call it an agreement that they provide certain things to host a class, such as training facilities some equip. and the paying customer to free slot ratio. You can see some examples of this on my web site. They also do not care to collect or be responsible for class registrations or fees (some will, most won't).

Cool Max, Thanks for the tip.

I guess instead of a "contract" I could fill out an "order form" or "agreement" that lays out the contractual relationship that would still be binding if anything big aver came up. I doubt that it would, but you know how some departments are.

I really appreciate the insight about them not wanting to handle the money. I was thinking that they would.

I was rasied to believe that a contract protects BOTH parties and is desired by honest people who engage in business together. Even if I hardy used it, I still want to have one handy in case anyone ever wants one. I just want something to assure that they understand what I will and won't be responsible for...and vice versa.

I'll hit your site again and check it out. Thanks!
