For the past three years we’ve attempted to keep our course pricing and course duration stable, however with the new features in our Kofax products we are no longer able to do so.

Course Duration

Over the past three years, trainee feedback has been very positive for all of our courses. However we are increasingly noticing that trainees would be better served with extra time to completely understand and absorb the training details. They also requested more time for the practical lab work in the training environment where an instructor is available to answer all questions. With the new features in the Kofax products we are no longer able to offer a complete technical certification course in three days.

Therefore we have taken the decision to extend all EMEA Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules courses to four days effective from 1^st October 2010.

Classroom Course Pricing

In addition to lengthening the courses we have reviewed the course pricing. Over the past three years much has changed in the financial markets of the world include great fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates, yet Kofax EMEA has steadfastly maintained our course pricing. From 1^st October 2010 we will however be changing our course pricing across most courses. Our two most popular courses, Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules, will be €2’100 and €2’800 respectively. This increase is due to changes in the market rates for comparable training and also the lengthening of the courses.

Onsite Course Pricing

Likewise we will be adjusting our onsite course pricing. Many have asked to return to a daily rate for onsite courses and we are pleased to announce that we are doing just that.

The daily rate will be €2’100 for all courses except for Kofax Transformation Modules which is €2,450.

In the past our onsite course pricing was the equivalent of four full fee paying trainees with each extra trainee 50% of the regular course price. With the new onsite course pricing we are happy for you to send up to eight trainees and we will include all the necessary course materials for each student. This represents a significantly improved offering for all those wanting onsite courses.

Obviously no one likes prices to rise, however I would like to make it very clear that with the new pricing structure some courses have become cheaper and for some customers onsite courses will also cost less for more trainees.

I appreciate your understanding of the new course pricing and duration and should you have any questions please feel free to email us at training.emea@kofax.com.  The Kofax EMEA Education website (http://www.kofax.com/training/emea) will be updated with new course durations and pricing on the 1^st October.
