Short answer: "Yes".

Assuming training times from 9 – 5 with an hour for lunch, participants will be getting 7 hours training each day. That works out at about 42 hours. For ease of calculation let’s call that 40 hours. With a total cost of £2,690 it equates to about £67.25 per hour.

To work with someone of Richard Bandler’s calibre for an hourly rate lower than the rate I charge my clients seems to me to be good value.

By the way, if you do both courses it works out at about £45 per hour! My accountant charges more than that

For a lecture? No

 

If you get practice time with Bandler actually on hand to answer questions and tweak your exprience then yes. But you wont get that. Buy the videos.

Do you want to be able to do what Bandler does with the skills he does it with?

That's the first question to ask. If you do, then the next question is:

What kind of education will this give you, hands-on (to actually have those skills), or theoretical (to give you the knowledge to go out and get them for yourself)?

I suppose once you have your answers to those questions, you will be closely to deciding if you think it's worth £2.5K.

For me, no, it's not worth it. But you may answer those questions, for yourself, differently.

I should add that what I mean by this is: to me, I don't consider it worth two and a half thousand of my pounds.

That says nothing about whether it's good value for money, or good content.

What do I consider good value training?

Books offer relatively the most value for the dollar invested and are best read for understanding the instructor's comprehensive philosophy and theory. Videos generally provide condensed lectures and demos, typically require a bit more of a financial investment and are usually sufficient for getting results (presuming you already understand the theory behind the work). Live training is a great follow up for getting specific questions answered, discussing details of the work not presently in the literature and obtaining hands on instruction for implementing more complex procedures.

I recommend starting with a book. Following up with a video and if needed, continuing with live training. Everything depends greatly upon your prior experience and level of interest, more so than anything else.
