By choosing AACE International’s CEO training, you
not only give your employees quality courses at an exceptional price, you also minimize
staff travel costs and time out of the office. "Downtime" and travel costs are
major obstacles to providing the necessary continuing education they need to stay on top
of their field. These obstacles often increase the cost of continuing education by 2-3
times. Onsite training is the obvious answer!
The professional staff at AACE International will be
happy to work with you to customize our courses to fit your needs and schedule.
Contact AACE's professional education department at 800.858.COST or +1.304.2968444, and
let us help you meet your company's training needs with a quality-driven, professional
seminar at your company's site.
We refer to the AACE International series of onsite
professional seminars as our CEO (Corporate Educational Opportunities) Program.
The CEO Program is administered by AACE International’s Headquarters office within
the parameters established by the AACE Education Board, which is comprised of volunteers
from industry and academia.
All courses offered in our CEO Program have
been previously evaluated by student critiques to ensure that the classes we offer are of
the highest quality. We will provide critique sheets for your attendees so
you will be able to immediately see how your employees valued the class. The courses that
we offer in the CEO Program are constantly judged in this manner to qualify for continued
use.
AACE International awards continuing
education units (CEUs) to all students in accordance with the criteria
established by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training
(IACET). This is verified by issuing all students certificates that show the specific
information about the course attended and the CEUs earned. They are signed by the
instructor(s) and handed out upon completion of the course.
Your Role As Corporate Representative
— Unless otherwise arranged, your representative (training officer, or other
designated official) will have the responsibility of arranging the in-company logistics,
and formally asking us to arrange the course. This entails:
Authorizing us to proceed by giving AACE International a
standard letter of agreement authorizing us to arrange the course and specifying the what,
when, and where of the course selected, plus how the cost would be handled by your
company;
Making contact with your employees and notifying them of
where and when the course will be held, and giving us a count of how many students to
prepare materials for;
Arranging a suitable training room that includes
audio-visual equipment required by the instructor;
Providing AACE International with a list of names of
attendees and their titles prior to the training so that cards, and CEU certificates with
full names can be prepared before the course; and
Arranging any refreshments you feel appropriate, such as
ice water, coffee, or food.
The general arrangements for a class vary with the
course. Typically, there is a "course notebook," and other materials, such as
commercial books, may be required and will be included in the course fee. We will be
pleased to give you a course fee upon request. It is our intent to maximize the quality of
the training experience at your site.
Course Fee—The fee for
these training seminars is based on a minimum of ten persons. The sessions are held in the
client’s facilities or at a convenient location you select. The amount will vary with
the scope of the course held, but you’ll find the cost to be very economical when
compared to the cost of sending your staff to distant cities and paying the cost of
training, hotels, meals, and transportation. The suggested number of attendees for an
onsite training class should be between 15 and 20 to maximize the benefits.
