As we spoke about at our last meeting the format and cost of training for nonprofits has changed. It became public yesterday and I thought you would all like to have an update. Today I received the following from Salesforce:

North America - Nonprofit Training Policy

• All courses held in North America are offered at a 50% discount off the list price to nonprofits and partners exclusively serving nonprofit clients
• See the company site for the current list price as well as the schedule for each course
• Three seats will be given priority advanced confirmation per class
• After registration someone will contact you to schedule you for the first available class of your choice
• This offer is available only to nonprofit organizations receiving donated or discounted licenses and partners with an exclusive nonprofit client base
• Verification of your organization's nonprofit status or nonprofit exclusive partner will occur upon registration
• This policy does not apply to classes held in EMEA & APAC. EMEA/APAC should continue to register on the company website and enter the promotion code "nonprofit"
• Frequently Asked Questions: FAQ
• PLEASE NOTE: There is currently a 12 - 16 week waiting list for seats available to nonprofits at the 50% discount in popular cities including New York, Boston, and Washington D.C. In order to bypass the waiting list, you may register for the course at a 20% discount. Use the same registration below and notify the salesforce.com representative that contacts you that you that you are interested in the first available seat at the 20% nonprofit discount.
