I think it depends on where you are and who's offering the training. I just recently read about a company in Toronto Canada that's asking $1500 US. for one week.
That seemed to be about the going rate in Detroit Michigan for a company offering training.
I think there were some indivual persons advertising in the local newspaper there. They offered "CATIA Training".
I would think they would be cheaper but you never know who you're gonna get, even with a established company.
Fernando,
Better late, than never, or is it, better never late!?
Anyway, after reading this thread I just couldn't resist replying.
I believe another question to consider along with upfront cost of the course you are seeking, is what is the course's "true" market value. Or in other words, is the course you are considering worth taking. How does one decide what institution or more importantly in this case who has the best program and instructors for your needs? They may cost the same, but not all courses are made equal. Some are more useful than others. Ask around, look for referals from people you know who have taken the class. Will you be using the software in the near future?
The old saying goes, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. If you don't keep up, the rapid version/revision updates will outdate you ablities, so you'll need to practice right away.
If you are like most professional Designers, you're looking to get the "biggest bang for the buck" and to get up and runnng as quickly as possible. Just point an able Designer in the right direction and he'll or she'll do the rest.
Since, I do not have a vested interest in the company, I hope it is safe for me to ackowledge 'Practical Catia' in the Detroit area. Small class sizes. Although, not a Class A Surfacer's class as of yet, definitely worth the money.
