I have been asked to submit a contract proposal to provide training for industry based commercial cleaning/small business management for approximately 20 persons. I have 4 yrs experience as a licensed instructor. What would be the best route to approach this issue? Based on what I currently know and have researched, the business aspect could be based on local colleges fees (I studied management in college); as for the commercial cleaning aspect, would I price per hour/student or use another method?

I’m looking to start a construction clean up company and want to inquire about training. Currently I have a mentor who’s teaching me a lot. He subs a lot of his work, but I’d like to get the formal training so that I don’t have to do that. Some of the areas of expertise in which I was hoping to acquire skills are: carpets, floors, stone, metal, etc. I currently reside in Maryland, but will be relocating to Atlanta, Georgia in about six months.
