2 The Investment
The course is a whole-diocese/participant licence. For equity, the cost is based on the number of schools in your system.
For example: A diocese with 36 schools would calculate costs for 2027 as follows;
Single Course: 36 Schools × $100.00 = $3,600 + GST
Two Course: 36 Schools x 2 x $100.00 = $7,2000 + GST
