[Year 12 IT Apps] developing Games for the iPhone and iPod Touch

Thu May 13 10:07:17 EST 2010

And with respect to you, Adrian, the cost is $32.50 per hour per person, so
if 10 people enrol, that's $325 per hour or $700 for a two hour session.

A quick trawl through TAFE Short Courses provided an average cost of $20 -
$25 per hour per person and I can guarantee that TAFE's do not lose money
out of that. 

Kind regards

Hi Geoff and Geraldine,

With respect, how is $750 exorbitant for a 10 week course?  This is a course
with each session being 2 hours duration - so the cost is $75 per day or
$32.50 per hour.  As much as possible, we do try to run events with the
smallest possible cost - however, at the same time, VITTA (like every other
organisation) needs to remain viable.  

Cheers,

Adrian

Pity once again that exorbitant pricing is offputting. Otherwise it sounds
very interesting and worthwhile.
