Price Reduced for the 10-hour Construction Safety Class
The price has been lowered to $125.00 for non-gov’t employees and $95 for gov’t/non-profit employees.
We had a somewhat low enrollment for the 10-hr Construction Safety class that we had scheduled for June 28th. In trying to decide why that happened, we compared our prices to some others out there. While we were in the ballpark of the general price for these courses, we decided to lower the cost to a price that didn’t seem to hit the wallet quite so hard. Thus, the 10-hour class scheduled for August 11 is now priced at $125.00 for non-gov’t employees and $95 for gov’t/non-profit employees.
