Who Takes
Private Classes?
Private
classes are typically taken by
individuals or groups of friends that:
1. Are unable to attend a regularly scheduled class
2. An individual that prefers "one-on-one" training
3. Have particular skills or groups of skills that they want to learn or
concentrate on.
The
Private classes are personally
taught by Tom Laskowski and set up
for "1 person" at a rate of $200 per
day. If you choose to, you
can have friends of your choosing
attend the class at a rate of $175
per day for the 2nd person and $150
per day for a third to fifth persons.
Private Classes are
typically limited to a total of 5
people so that each person will get
the individual attention they are paying
for unless otherwise arranged and
agreed on by all attendees.
These classes are not open to the
public and you will not be attending
a class with someone you did not
choose to attend the class with you.
Private Class
Agenda
The
agenda for the class can either be
our complete Survival Curriculum,
specific parts of our complete
Survival Curriculum, or it
could be a custom program based on
the needs and desires of those
taking the class. If a custom
agenda is selected we will discuss
your objectives before an agenda is
created.

Many private groups also like to
end the class with our
"Simulated Survival Situation"

practice what they learned with
the availability of an
instructor close by. This takes
approximately 1?2 day (6 hours)
********************************************************************
The
location of the class can either be
at your location or our location in
suburban Cleveland, Ohio or in a
wilderness area in Southern
Ohio.
The only other expense
you would incur for the class would
be our travel expense in getting to
the class if held at your location
or in southern Ohio** at a rate of $10
per hour (driving time) and the
actual round trip cost of fuel based
on 11.8 mpg (our truck mpg pulling the
classroom trailer) at the current gasoline
rates at the time of the class.
The
Private classes are scheduled at
your convenience and at a time
where I am not teaching or preparing
for another class.
If you
are interested in more information
please call us at 888-886-5592
*Classes can also be taught in "non
wilderness" area (such as your
backyard) Remember, you are
learning the skills to survive and
the location where you learn
those
skills is not critical.
**Southern
Ohio location is 3 hours and 180
miles south of Cleveland therefore
the cost to get us there would be 6
hours driving time ($60) and mileage
of 360 (30.5 gallons of gas at the
current price of gasoline at the
time of the class - at $2.50 per
gallon the fuel cost would be
$76.25) Total transportation cost
(time and fuel) for this example
would then be $60 + $76.25 = $136.25 |
