EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTS
15% discount off the fees stated below for registration and payment received 2 months before the starting date of the registered training.
10% discount off the fees stated below for registration and payment received 1 month before the starting date of the registered training.
Q4. Do you offer any other registration fee discounts apart from the Early Bird discounts?
A. Yes, there are two other separate discounts available which can be used in conjunction with each other and the Early Bird discount, if applicable.
The first is a Church pack discount which entitles each person attending the church of the person who bought a Peacemaking Church Resource Box from PeaceWise in 2008 a $10 discount from any one training session carried out by PeaceWise anywhere in Australia during the 2009 calendar year. In order to obtain this discount you need to provide the Name of Church and the Discount Code (given at the time of purchase) on your training registration details.
The second discount is a group discount. For evey 4 people registering at the same time for the same training session, a 5th person can attend for free. To obtain this discount, you need to email contact@peacewise.org.au.
Q5. Why don't you have a fee level for full time ministry workers?
A. In setting our registration fee categories we have considered the costs of running the PeaceWise training events as well as what we believe different registrants can afford to pay to attend. We don’t have a registration category for those in “full time ministry” as that description can mean different things to different people and be a bit “blurry around the edges” (particularly as we hope that to some extent all Christians are in “full time ministry” for the Lord – regardless of their paid (or unpaid) occupation). We suspect that this may cause some people to rethink attending the PeaceWise training but we genuinely hope that we won’t exclude people because of the registration fee. Essentially we hope to have sufficient income from the fees to cover the costs of the training and possibly provide a small amount towards our on-going work. You will see that we have quite a number of discounts available which we hope will make the cost of attending as affordable as possible for those keen in making peacemaking an integral part of their lives and in the lives of others around them.
The best way to minimise your registration fee is to take advantage of the early bird discount or better still - register and attend with a group of 5 or more friends or members from your church or organisation. As our discounts are cumulative, you can save yourself a substantial amount if you register with a group and do it in time to obtain an early bird discount. By spreading the saving across the group you could all save over 30% off the full registration fee. Also - don't forget to check whether the church you attend has purchased a Peacemaking Church Resource Box from PeaceWise which allows you to obtain a further $10 off one training session in 2008.
If you feel that even with these discounts the registration fee is prohibitive but you would still like to attend, you can apply for one of our limited sponsorships. If you want to know more about this or have any other queries, please email contact@peacewise.org.au.
