6 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION BUDGET GO FURTHER

At Cascadia Training, we understand we are living in unprecedented times in many ways, and that unfortunately has consequences for our finances and livelihoods. We get that these uncertain times, layoffs, rising costs, budget cuts, and economic instability for many can make it challenging to invest in continuing education and professional development. That’s why we’re committed to offering a variety of ways to help your education dollars go further.

Here are six ways Cascadia can help maximize your limited continuing education and professional development funds.

GROUP REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS

We provide generous group discounts—the more who register, the larger the savings. Group registration for continuing education workshops offers significant benefits, particularly in terms of cost savings and collaborative learning. Many programs provide tiered discounts, meaning the more individuals who register together, the greater the overall discount—making it a cost-effective option for organizations, teams, or groups of professionals. This encourages participation from entire departments or peer networks, fostering a shared learning experience that can enhance engagement, reinforce key concepts through discussion, and promote teamwork. Additionally, group registration often streamlines administrative processes, making it easier to manage attendance and coordinate schedules. Please email us at [email protected] to inquire about group registrations and discounts.

INDIVIDUAL DISCOUNTS

We also offer special discounts for students, unemployed professionals, those early in their careers, government employees, military personnel/veterans, community and non-profit mental health workers, individuals with disabilities, marginalized populations, and anyone experiencing financial hardships. Please email us at [email protected] to inquire about individual discounts.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Additionally, Cascadia Training offers scholarships to ensure that cost is never a barrier to accessing high-quality training. If you want to register for a workshop or a few but finances are holding you back, please contact us to learn more about our group discounts, individual discounts, and scholarship opportunities—we’re here to help you grow, regardless of your financial situation. Please email us at [email protected] to inquire about scholarships.

PAYMENT PLANS

We offer you the option to pay in two payments for almost every workshop. You pay 50% when you register, and then the remaining 50% is automatically deducted from your credit card on the last day of the month of the workshop. This option can be selected when registering and can be combined with discounts or scholarships, too!

DISCOUNTED ON-DEMAND WORKSHOPS ON CONSTANTEDU

Cascadia Training’s “sibling company,” ConstantEdu, offers offers even more flexible, affordable continuing education options.

LUNCH & LEARNS and HALF-DAY WORKSHOPS

We recently launched our brand-new Lunch & Learn Series! These 1.5 CE workshops are only $35 and offer required continuing education in Law & Ethics, Cultural Competence, and/or Health Equity CEs. We also have several half-day 3 CE workshops that are lower in price, too, many of which offer Law & Ethics CEs! Check out our Lunch & Learn Series here!

We hope these offerings help take some financial pressure off and make your continuing education requirements more affordable.

We are committed to making our workshops as accessible as possible for as many people as possible, and this includes removing or reducing as many barriers as possible, including financial constraints, especially in these challenging times.

We hope to see you at a workshop or two soon.
