Training requests

Post the in-person training your team needs. Approved training companies, trainers and our own team send quotes, and you choose one. Posting is free.

Post a request

  1. Step 1: Open Request a quote. On a classroom course page, Request a quote opens it with the course chosen. On a training company page, it also invites that company when it delivers the course.
  2. Step 2: Under Which training?, type the course and choose it from the list. If it is not there, keep what you typed: our team adds it to the course list.
  3. Step 3: Say where, how many people, the dates and the language. Choose the last day for quotes: at most 30 days ahead, and before the training starts.
  4. Step 4: Add a budget, the certificate you need, notes and up to three PDF documents if you like. All of them are optional.
  5. Step 5: Sign in or create an account, check your answers and press Send for review.

Our team checks every request before it goes on the board. We email you when it is live, or tell you why it was not.

What providers see

Anyone can see the course, the number of people, the city, the dates and the language. Approved providers also see your budget, the certificate and your notes. Nobody sees your name, organisation, email or documents until you choose a quote, and then only the provider you chose.

Email addresses, phone numbers and web addresses are removed from notes, questions, answers and quotes.

Compare and choose

  1. Step 1: Open your request from Your requests on the board. Quotes are listed lowest price first, each with the price per person, dates, venue, certificate and the provider’s rating.
  2. Step 2: Providers are shown as Provider A, Provider B and so on. A quote from iCompetent shows our name.
  3. Step 3: Answer providers’ questions on the request. Every provider sees your answers.
  4. Step 4: Press Choose this quote. You then see the provider’s name and contact details, and they see yours. You agree the details and the payment with them directly.

Quoting closes at the end of the last day for quotes. You then have 14 days to choose. You can move the last day later, or cancel the request, while it is open.

After the training

Press Mark it delivered on the request, and rate the provider with 1 to 5 stars. When a training company delivered it, you get a link to send to your learners, so they can review the company.

For training companies and trainers

Managers of a training company page and approved trainers can quote. The For you tab on the board lists open requests for the courses, places and languages you deliver, and we email you new ones once a day.

  1. Step 1: Open a request to see the budget, certificate and notes. Ask a question if something is not clear.
  2. Step 2: Fill in Send your quote: the price for the whole group, the dates, where, the trainer’s experience and the certificate.
  3. Step 3: You can change or withdraw your quote until the last day for quotes. If the client chooses you, you see their contact details and documents on the request, and we email you.
