Process
We generally need four to six weeks to customize a course based on your needs. The timeline could be shorter if one of our current builds aligns closely with your academic needs.
Pricing
We do not have a set price per course because they are individually tailored to your needs. We price the course based on your budget, as we are trying to promote the Sport Management field and create more career opportunities. There is an initial cost for licensing the course, followed by a per-semester or per-usage fee. Both are negotiated based on your budget. There is an additional instructional fee for the course.
