A course per person or a workshop for the company
On an open course you pay for places in a fixed programme. With closed training you book the trainer's time and a scope for your group. A price „per day” needs pinning down: how many hours of sessions, for how many people and with what preparation. Ask every provider to quote the same number of participants, hours of practice and materials. The points to compare are set out in our overview of AI training companies in Poland.
- Hours of sessions and the number of participants in a group
- Exercises on the company's own tasks or on a neutral set
- Consultations after the sessions and a review of solo attempts
- Timing of tasks before and after the training
- Materials that stay with the company
If one proposal includes consultations after the sessions and another covers the meeting alone, write that difference next to the price.
Training budget for ten people
| Item | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Delivering the training | Syntalith starting price | from €1,150 net |
| Participants' time | 10 people × 6 h × €34.90 | €2,094 |
| Preparing examples | 6 h × €34.90 | €209 |
| Accounts and access | 3 h × €34.90 | €105 |
| Reviewing attempts after the sessions | 4 h × €34.90 | €140 |
| Licences | Depending on the plan chosen | separate |
The team's time comes to €2,548, and with delivery to about €3,698 plus tools. Salaries may already be in the budget, but time has an opportunity cost. Six hours of attendance is an assumption of the calculation. When the company already has licences, the new purchase cost can be zero. Check the usage limits before the sessions, though.
How much to add for accounts
ChatGPT Business Standard
$25
Per person a month, or $20 with annual billing, minimum two seats.
Claude Team Standard
$25
The same amounts in the US price list, minimum two seats.
Ten seats
$250
A month in one tool. Comparing both is worth doing in a smaller group.
Prices from OpenAI's price list and the Claude Team terms. Syntalith does not resell licences, and we agree the access needed for the exercises before the training.
When the training pays back
- Saving
- 8 × 6 × 8 min = 6.4 h a week
- A month
- 6.4 × 4.33 = 27.7 h (€967)
- Full training budget with the team's time
- €3,698
Payback
3.8 months
The number of tasks and the saving per task are assumptions, which we check by timing before the training and after 30 days. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat. Freed time is not automatically a cash saving.
According to Eurostat (2025), 70.9% of EU companies that considered AI and did not use it named a lack of relevant expertise. Timing the same task before the training and after 30 days is part of our programme.
What changes the price most
Preparing on a neutral set of documents is different work from analysing the company's own contracts and reports. One task shared by the whole group differs from separate exercises for sales, finance and IT. The price depends on the number of groups, the participants' level, data preparation, travel and consultations.
When you need accounts and rules for working with data as well as training, choose the rollout package from €1,150 net for a team of up to 10 people, with a measurement after 30 days. It covers ChatGPT or Claude and is described on the team training page. Send us the number of participants and a description of the task, and we will prepare a programme with a price.
