EXpensive Courses on this website!!

DaveAsperg

On this website are a number of online conferences, but they are all £145 + VAT to attend or £65 if autistic. This sounds hugely expensive for us for just an online link..... don't you think ?

I can see organisations and officials can get expenses and tax relief, but a viewing link will cost nothing.

It all seems like profiteering

  • I haven't looked, so I don't know which courses you refer to, however, they could justify their prices (which do sound a little high) by saying that it doesn't matter whether it's online or in RL, they still have to organise it, pay the speaker/s, arrange the location, possibly hire the location and/or equipment, and so on. Just because it's online doesn't make it that much cheaper to arrange, to be fair. Most courses, lectures etc, are a bit steep to my way of thinking.
