50% Discount for Unemployed - Intro to Revit Architecture Course

So the architecture profession here in the Northeast has been hit really hard by this recession.  Many of my friends are in the unfortunate position of being out of work and looking for new opportunities.  Afew months back in conversation with one of them it became clear that having Revit on their resume would really help improve chances of landing a position.

Unfortunately, introductory classes run around $900. Up to this point, we had only provided custom corporate training but I thought we could do better.  However we needed computers, software and a facility. Step in Service Point USA.  SPUSA just became an authorized autodesk reseller and we established a partnership with them do deliver all their implementation, training and support services.  They graciously agreed to help hold the session at their headquarters and let us use their mobile training lab.

So we called our colleages and there was enough interest so that we could offer the course at $395 per person!!  Half Price!!  In fact there has been so much demand that we've been offering the course about every 6 weeks since then.  Here's a link.  As long as we get 6 people we can offer the course at $395 per person.  Standard corporate rate is $795 and student rate is $595.  

It has really been a win-win situation.  We are able to keep busy and our colleagues are learning skills which can help them land a job.
