I got a PM from BCI Instructor regarding a CFP course. Is there any interest in this, or should I start looking for something a little farther away?

Orig. msg.:

You may send me a PM using this site for my direct contact info;
I can then offer you a quote as to the minimum head count necessary for me to travel to your group to offer the course.

Course fee is $75 maximum per person, some discounting available.
Fingerprinting fee is normally $13 per the state but I can waive this for most groups.

Thank you for your interest ...

I would be willing to take a course in Centre County.

How many people do you need for him to give the course?

[Slipstik]

Not sure yet, as I wanted to see if there was ANY interest first. Obviously the more people, the cheaper per head. I figured I'd let this hang for a few days, and see what response I got, before getting back to him. May have to expand it to Altoona area before we get a good price break.

[Xringshooter]

I'd be interested in one in the SC area. Hopefully it could be on a weekend or during a week that I was in town.

[Slipstik]

We're trying to figure out logistics. Any ideas where we could "Host" this? I'm very interested, and if we could get enough people in, to bring the price down to around $50 a head, this would be perfect for me.

Hello Frank,

Quick note here as my class is on a brief smoke / restroom break ...

Zip code is 7 hrs / 390 miles each way from my Virginia home, so I'm looking at 2 days hotel / motel + fuel expenses.

PAFOA posters = $65 provided they have been a member / posting 30+ days prior to today's exchange.

A 20 person minimum head count is likely do-able, I can possibly work with something a body or two shy of that...

I have a post dated prepayment policy;
folks must provide a post dated check dated for the Tuesday following the course date, in advance. In this way I have "guaranteed" funds in order to hold the date and confirm my travel arrangements but they are safe in that that can stop payment if I were to be a no-show. A class roster and the prepayments can be assembled by the class organizer, then mailed to me in advance of the class date or held for presentation to me at the start of the course (depends upon my travel / mail access at that time).

Hope this helps you to estimate your needs ...

John F Vith Jr

How does this sound to everyone?

[mcshooter]

I would also be willing to take a course in Centre County. Any idea yet on a time frame when the course would be offered?

He was talking about the next few weeks...ie before X-Mas.

Hey Ron,

Maybe you could spread the word around, and see if we can drum up some more inerest in this?
