Host a GDO-R Workshop

Host a Public Live/Hybrid GDO-R Workshop:

Host a PRIVATE HYBRID or PRIVATE ONLINE GDO-R Workshop:

Often schools and early childhood centers prefer to hold a private group workshop for their staff only. This could be as a team building PD experience, because it is more cost efficient than to pay for travel for multiple people, or because our scheduled dates do not match your availability. Private workshops also allow some customization options such as times for meetings or a focus on beginner vs. intermediate examiner skills. Consult with us to schedule a private HYBRID or ONLINE GDO-R or GES (or both!) workshop that better fits your needs. Note that travel and trainer availability requires booking a workshop at least 4 months in advance.

The Private GDO-R Group Rate is $5,000 (plus $2000 for travel fees of the trainer for the HYBRID option) for up to 10 participants, and an additional $450 for each participant over 10. Most workshops require 2.5 days (fewer days can be accommodated if requested; fees will not be prorated in any case).

As host, your responsibilities include:

  • A room that can accommodate up to 30 people comfortably, with air conditioning in the summer months, available for three days
  • Light snacks (coffee/muffins) for morning/afternoon break
  • Two children volunteers of differing ages between 2.5 and 6, for our demonstration
  • A minimum number of participants is required to host, based on the lead time till the workshop date. Please see the chart below for minimum requirements.
