New Fee Schedule as at April 1, 2009

Advance Corporate Training Ltd. is pleased to announce a new service fee schedule to take effect April 1, 2009.

This new fee schedule will ensure consistency and help our clients with anticipatory budgeting.

"We have completely redone our fee structure" says ACT Ltd. President Janet Dean. "Fees are now broken out by activity (training, team building, strategic planning) rather than just by duration of programming. This will help our clients budget more effectively and ensure peace of mind that we bill by outcomes not time - a key concern in these tough economic times."

Clients will also receive price breaks for repeat engagements, programs versus courses and number of participants. Janet Dean will continue to be available for premium events, our Master Facilitators will continue to deliver our unique outcome-oriented delivery style and clients can expect the same high quality of training as always.

Advance Corporate Training Ltd. last raised their fees in 1998.

If you have any questions or would like a copy of our new fee schedule, please contact Janet Dean directly at dean@actraining.com.

To help get our "inside's out" in the language of love, we here at Advance Corporate Training want to share some famous thoughts on love by some of the worlds most romantic people. Feel free to share them with someone YOU lovethis February 14th.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
- Aristotle

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
- Lao Tzu

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,My love as deep; the more I give to thee,The more I have, for both are infinite.
- William Shakespeare

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
-Helen Keller

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.
- Zora Neale Hurston

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other waythan this: where I does not exist nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
- Pablo Neruda
