How much does CCS Candy training cost?
Written by Kobus le Roux
When you're considering a CCS Candy training course, you have three main options to select from, each carrying a unique price tag.
Firstly, I must disclose that our company, Le Roux Consulting, provides an on-demand online course for CCS Candy's planning module. However, this option might not be the best fit for you. This guide presents an unbiased view of the available options and providers, assisting you in making an informed decision.
The 3 training options you can choose from are:
- Live In-Person Training Courses
- Live / Instructor-Led Online Training Courses
- On-Demand, Online Video Training Courses
Let's examine each option to understand their costs and features better:
CCS Training Cost - Live In-Person Training
Live in-person training follows a traditional approach, with attendees physically present in a classroom, learning from an instructor.
This mode incurs costs for the instructor's time, the training venue, refreshments, and printing materials, making it generally more expensive than other options. If the course venue isn't locally accessible, you should also consider accommodation and travel costs.
Presently, RIB, the provider of Candy software, hosts beginner-friendly live courses, priced at R6,050 per course*. These two-day courses are offered at specific locations and dates listed on their website.
Live / Instructor-Led Online Training
Live online training replicates the classroom experience through platforms like Zoom or MS Teams, bringing it to your desk.
This method mostly follows the cost structure of in-person training, but saves on costs related to venue, food, and printed materials, as well as accommodation and travel.
RIB offers this convenient option at a price of R4,730 for a two-day course*, requiring attendance at designated times, but permitting remote participation.
On-Demand, Online Video Training
On-demand training allows access to pre-recorded videos anytime, anywhere. This method is typically the most cost-effective option, as it eliminates venue costs and saves on travel, accommodation, and presenter's time-based charges.
However, on-demand training options for CCS Candy are somewhat limited.
RIB's recent initiative, the RIB Academy, offers a select range of on-demand courses. Their main estimating course costs R4,730* and provides two weeks of access for course completion.
As mentioned earlier, we offer our own on-demand training course in CCS's Candy here at Le Roux Consulting for R3,897 / course. Once you enroll, you have 12-months access.
While there are significant price differences between these options, the most affordable choice may not be the ideal fit for you. Your decision should consider other factors too. Some options may cost more, but they also offer additional benefits.
