No. You can pay by purchase order and invoice. Many organizations require the services contract prior to starting the work. Once the contract is in place, we will allocate a number of consulting hours for your contract. From that point forward you can proceed to consume these hours by booking them directly on Bruce’s calendar on the website. Every time you book a session with Bruce on the calendar, the remaining session hours will automatically be decremented. We keep track of all the hours you consume against the contract.

All RIMtech online training is conducted via the zoom platform, as well as our occasional webinars. For consulting services, we use the zoom platform unless the client has a preference such as Microsoft teams, WebEx, etc. whereupon we’re happy to use any platform.

A private online course is actually an entire course delivered to a single organization. Such courses are often tailored to the particular organization. Up to 10 people may attend the class. It is private in that it is not open to the public, it is delivered to the employees of that organization only. The organization pays a single fee for the entire class and all attendees. A public course is open to anyone from the public and is scheduled in advance. Attendees pay a fee for each single attendee, regardless of the number of attendees.

Four. If you go to the booking page specific to that course, it will show how many people are registered at any given time.

We only cancel an event if we fail to reach the minimum number of attendees (typically four), or if Bruce Miller is unable to attend due to illness. If, shortly before the course date we do not believe we will reach the minimum level, we will send you an email notification. We will either reschedule the event and give you an opportunity to rebook to the new date, or we will issue you a refund if you’re not able to attend.

You only need to become a member if you wish to engage with RIMtech in some manner. You must be a member in order to purchase anything from RIMtech, to book consulting services on Bruce Miller’s calendar, or to post comments on Bruce’s blog. Being a member also means that you can communicate with other members. You can also keep track of booking services, i.e. how much time you have consumed, and how much is remaining against your contract, etc. There are also certain resources (useful documents and tools) that are made available on the RIMtech website to members only.
