Safety Knights

I do $200 for OSHA 10 and $400 for OSHA 30. I do 10% discounts for all new customers and group discounts for groups of 20 or more.

It's hard to compete with the prices of online OSHA 10 and 30 courses, though.

I have taught OSHA GI Outreach for a long time. All of mine is through a Tech School or with a single customer (primarily Manufacturing). Drew is correct, awfully hard to compete with online courses! However, I can sell the advantages of classroom training. I know some of my friends charge per student, but I charge by the hour, so far. I have consulting arrangements in which I get a monthly retainer. I give those customers either a great deal or do it for free (for very good customers). For the Tech Schools I do several classes for them and charge a reduced fee to as a consultant (NOT as an Adjunct Instructor - Wi Tech College System pays a flat $39.50 per hour for all courses taught by Adjuncts- I won't teach Safety and esp Outreach for that).

My hourly rates are all over the place, ranging from $100/hr (for a great customer I have other business) to $175 (for someone that wants a one shot deal) for 3-10 students. Eleven or more students I add 20% to 30%. If they want specific training materials that is an add on too, price per student depending on topics, in WI I have to charge sales tax for those so I try to avoid those. I will give the 4 mandatory handouts to the customer to make copies for the students.

I know the Technical College I work for charges $365 for a 10-Hour and $765 for 30-Hour per student. Enrollment is on the decline as I use to teach 2 of each course per semester, and now down to one each per year, if I am lucky.

I maybe developing an OHSA 30-Hour for HR Managers through the local SHRM and/or Chamber and am interested on the comments on prices per student. Might be more like 33-35 hours as I want to add some Workers Comp to the course (OSHA won't buy the extra on WC).

Construction Outreach Instructors are hard to find in this area. I get calls frequently on that one. I have thought about getting it that but barely know the difference in a claw-hammer and roofing hammer, and forget using a square! I am a ball-peen man!

Following out of pure curiosity. I got authorized so I can train our own employees on the cheap... but as a side gig this info would be good to know.

Are companies willing to pay an individual? Or would it be worth it to set up a business license or something?
