| As an alternative to sending personnel to our facility for training, consider hosting an S2 course at your location. For the price of sending several people to an out-of-town course, organizations can host an S2 program inhouse and provide training for their entire staff...better yet, with no loss of time due to travel.
Additionally, by extending invitations to other local agencies, hosting a seminar can provide an excellent opportunity to network and solidify relationships with other local contacts. Many S2 clients have discovered that invitational training sessions are an effective tool for building trust and confidence between their organization and others.
S2 has provided on-site training for numerous corporations and government agencies including the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, the US Capitol Police, US Department of Justice, and US Special Operations Command.
Customized Training
If an existing course does not comply directly with client requirements, S2 instructors may create a custom training program to meet the specific needs of the host organization. Prices for customized training are quoted on a case-by-case basis to account for presentation time plus the time required to develop the modified or new curriculum and support media.
Fees and Billing
The group price indicated on the course catalog pages includes all instructor presentation time and travel time within the Continental United States. If the host location is outside of the Continental United States, there may be additional charges for travel time.
The host will be charged for all instructor transportation and lodging expenses including air fare, car rental or taxi fees, and hotel expenses. The host may coordinate travel and lodging directly or may leave travel coordination to the S2 staff.
Each student attending the course will receive a course notebook or handouts. The host will be provided with a copy of the training manual or handouts in Adobe PDF format for duplication prior to the class. If the host wishes S2 to provide the student references, training manuals or handouts will be provided for an additional fee.
Student Restrictions
For reasons of security and public responsibility, S2 requests that all students attending restricted courses meet eligibility criteria as set forth by S2 Institute policy. The host is responsible for verifying the identity and eligibility all invited students.
Although the information in most S2 programs is UNCLASSIFIED, some courses may be optionally presented at a SECRET or TOP SECRET level. In these cases, the host is responsible for providing appropriate facilities and providing necessary proof of facility and personnel clearances.
Presentation Requirements
For courses that are conducted as lectures, the host will need to provide the following items on the days of the course:
| • |
Private classroom with appropriate seating for the number of students in attendance |
| • |
Windows-compatible audio-visual projector (and extra bulb) |
| • |
Projection screen and display table |
Although the instructor will bring a laptop computer for presentation, it is recommended that the host have an extra laptop computer present loaded with MS PowerPoint in the event of a technical problem during the presentation.
