Key Questions in
Determining the
Training Costs

• How many participants?

• What are the learning
activities?
• How long and how many
trials does the learner need
to meet the required
performance?
• What resources are needed
to execute the learning
activities?
Cost Centers
Cost centers are the classification of expenses associated in the
provision of training services. This made budgeting and accounting
funds utilized more organized.

This is the cost associated with the extended support provisions in TVET
such as living allowance for trainees, instructional material allowance, toolkits,
national competency assessment, and working clothes for the scholars.
Per Capita Cost
Per capita is a latin word that means “by head,” which commonly
means average cost per learner. This is very useful in projecting the
volume of learners per allotted budget or vise-versa.
Imputed Costs
Imputed cost, also known as implicit cost. This is the cost incurred
during the period when an asset is employed for a particular use, rather
than redirecting the asset to different use.

1pm-3pm
• Present your output to the group. 30 min per group (15 min.
presentation, 15 min discussion). 3:15pm ~ 4:45pm
