How to organise a masterclass – part 1
Written by Stuart Haden on June 19, 2014
As promised I have headed off to Storm Beach with my trusty flip chart and some great ideas to get the masterclass model moving…
OK so dealing with the first problem – open courses can be expensive. Primarily because providers have to market the course and cover costs such as venue etc. Sometimes you are looking as much as £499 for a one dayer or £3,000 as an in-house group. My solution is easy I charge £1500 for the event, with a max group size of 30 which ends up as £50 per person! A tad cheaper than £450!!
Working together we mitigate the risk, look for free/cheap venues and share the admin amongst participants. I offer my materials freely and keep expenses down to an absolute minimum. We end up with value for money and an authentic event that we have all contributed to and shaped, resonant. If you want a 3 page flyer on this and more then please email me (stuart@stormbeach.co.uk) and let’s get started. Or challenge your current provider to work in this way. But before you do so there are more ideas in my second posting…
