Hi Nancy,
Although we train Commission consumers, our services are there for all. 
The Federation Center charges $100 for a 4 hour block of time with the instructor of your choice. This amount pays the instructor and gives the Federation Center a little. This is a very affordable price for 1 on 1 training.

If you would like more information, please call me.
Thom Spittle
803-331-3344.

Payments are made to the Federation Center first, then a training schedule can be made.

I hope this helps,
Thom
