DescriptionLectures and Skill StationsPricingCourse Planning

The live, instructor-led, two-day course is the traditional method for delivering the FCCS: OB course. The goal is for individual sites to become self-sustaining in their delivery of the FCCS: OB program.

•   Licensed sites arrange for qualified instructors to deliver lectures and their related skill stations.
•   Complete slide decks with speaker notes, administrative materials, and forms are provided to each site.
•   Textbooks are shipped to the site before the course, allowing learners to prepare for the live activity.
•   This site coordinator administers the pre- and posttests and provides score information to SCCM.

The Hosted Training Team can help sites that have not previously held a course find consultants who will lead the development of the FCCS: OB course on site.

Hosting sites are encouraged to train and run the course as many times as they like and can purchase additional course access for learners as often as needed. Because there is no separate license fee, there is no expiration date for running the course as long as the site has purchased learner access.

SCCM will continue to support fair and flexible pricing using its tiered pricing structure. Pricing tiers are based on a country’s gross domestic product at purchasing power parity per capita as reported by the World Bank in its most current World Development Indicators database. This allows SCCM to accommodate ranges in needs and available financial resources.

For-profit sites, U.S. government and military sites, and sites interested in training more than 1000 learners for Fundamentals courses are encouraged to contact the Hosted Training Team to discuss pricing.

Number of Learners*	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3
1-99	$21	$58	$110
100-499	Custom	Custom	$105
500-999	Custom	Custom	$98

*Course access for learners per single purchase

In addition to payment methods currently in place, the hosted training model will allow sites to pay with a credit card online. Full payment will be required before accessing course materials. Please consider this when planning your course.
