explain to me why ohep cost 300 bucks?

[M_P]

I am shaking my head profusly for two reasons 1. your math skills are amazing! 2. Your comment on them only making 4 dollars a hour, you forgot to include the other 20,30 students 4 dollars a hour in your conversation. I sure hope your other half pays the bills and checks your pay check. Its not the point of the money its the whole issue of why we can not do this online and do it cheaper, I suppose you like to pay high taxes for nothing, These other provinces and states have been doing it for years. Why do we allow it to happen ?

$50 x 20 students less $15/student for the manual = $700
Factor in insurance, hall rental, his licencing costs, materials, guns, dummy ammo, coffee for the class which this guy was kind enough to supply, etc etc etc = not a whole lot for Mr. Instructor at the end of the day.
So while maybe not a loss, this would equate to very little payment for services rendered by the instructor.

I'm with you there. I don't know why they don't offer it electronically, as the Province seems to be pushing green initiatives. I'm sure the instructors, regardless of fees, would appreciate not having to keep cases of the darn things around either.

I'm all for an online version of the course. Provided there is an in person exam, performed by qualified examiner.

The fees for it.....well we've already flogged that horse.

They don't offer it electronically because people would not make as much money lets face it "ITs all about money "

No ITs not about the money it's to stop it from being like the boaters exam EVERYBODY PASSES

"ITs all about money "

yes Mark ...we conceed "it's all about the money"...as an adult we just learn to accept that truth and move on.

So the instructors arent just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts?

I sure sounds like some on here think they should....how quaint is that ?

[grizzlygreig]

Pretty sure the ones against on-line course are the ones that are running courses... And don't want competition taking away the little bit of "change" left over from them running a class...
