Small Business Discounts and Eligibility

We provide discounted registrations for our web seminars for small businesses. The “small business” discount is designed and intended to apply to companies that have only a few employees on staff so that they can attend our web seminars without experiencing undue financial hardship. A prerequisite for qualifying as a “small business” is that the company has no more than 10 full-time employees. If that prerequisite is met, then we have defined “small businesses” for this purpose as those businesses with no more than 4 civil/structural (licensed and not licensed) engineers on staff. Please note that this discounted registration does not depend on the number of civil/structural (licensed and not licensed) engineers attending the seminar or those in a particular office, but rather on the number of civil/structural (licensed and not licensed) engineers on staff in the small business. This discount also applies to university faculty members.

Two discounted rates are applied to small businesses, as shown below:

• Small Business A: These are small businesses with up to 10 full-time employees and 1-2 engineers on staff. University faculty members are also included in this category. Seminar registration fee for this category is $110 per connection*. Maximum number of CEU certificates allowed for this category is 2, issued to the engineers whose names were submitted at the time of small business application.
• Small Business B: These are small businesses with up to 10 full-time employees and 3-4 engineers on staff. Seminar registration fee for this category is $220 per connection*. Maximum number of CEU certificates allowed for this category is 4, issued to the engineers whose names were submitted at the time of small business application.

For registrations after the early registration cut-off dates indicated on the seminar pages, a $10 per connection fee will be added for both categories.
