What services do you provide?

How long does a course take?
Our courses are tailed to take, 3-5 days depending on the amount of practical exercises and topic. Certain courses can be combined to take 10 days back-to-back. Additional content can result in additional training days.
How much will it cost?
For our public course, Recon sets the price at an appropriate industry-standard amount (currently 5500 CAD in Montreal, 3600 EUR in Brussels, plus applicable taxes), plus your travel costs to get there. Our private courses come at a substantial discount, and only include the trainer’s travel expenses. Custom courses will require additional development costs and time.
What are the conditions for a private course?
All reasonable travel expenses must be paid by client, a minimum of at least 12 attendees (in most cases) must be paid for, and a signed PO and agreement must be received at least 90 days before the course begins. Case-by-case exceptions and custom contracts are possible.
All courses require a laptop or desktop for trainees. However, no software acquisition is required — we work with trial, free, or open source software.
