Importance of course fee:
• Influences participants composition.
• Discounts for students, NGOs or poorer participants ensure a more
heterogeneous group.
• Channels of marketing also influence participants composition.
• Generally no (completely) free offering. --> Attracts people that
have “nothing else to do” and not necessarily those on whom a
training might have the biggest impact.
