Maximize Your Training Dollars

Need to maximize your training funds? Here are some ways to stretch those dollars.

Convenient Course Scheduling
Management Concepts usually schedules sessions so that two or three related courses are offered in the same city in the same week, allowing you to conserve travel funds.

Group Discounts
When 5 or more people from your organization attend the same course session, you can take 5% off the tuition price. If 10 or more attend, take a 10% discount.

Training at Your Site
A high-quality training course presented where you work, when you work, in a way that works for you - that's a Management Concepts client on-site course. If you choose to bring a Grants & Assistance course to your site, you will receive a volume discount on tuition costs, as well as saving on travel expenses and travel time.

Allowability of Training Costs
For recipients of federal funds, our training courses, and the related travel expenses, may be an allowable charge to your federal grant. Under the cost principles:

• The cost of training provided for employee development is allowable. (2 CFR Part 225 (A-87), Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments, App. B, 42; 2 CFR Part 220 (A-21), Cost Principles for Educational Institutions, App. A, J.51)
• Costs of attendance of up to 16 weeks per employee per year at specialized programs specifically designed to enhance the effectiveness of executives or managers or to prepare employees for such positions are allowable. Such costs include enrollment fees, training materials, textbooks and related charges, employees' salaries, subsistence, and travel. (2 CFR Part 230 (A-122), Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations, App. B, 49.d; 48 CFR 31.205-44(e), Contracts with Commercial Organizations)

Reminder: Always check your grant agreement or ask your federal awarding agency before charging training costs to your grant: in some cases statutory provisions or grant terms and conditions may affect the allowability of training costs.
