1. A reasonable cut?

   Hi Jenny

   It is hard to get straight info about this, so I hope a few people contribute! In my experience, you often don't know the rate the training provider has charged  – you'll be offered a day rate and have to decide if it is acceptable. 

   Some are more open – which, to be honest, feels better to me. In those situations, I've been offered 50 – 70%.

   Hope that helps.

2. there are other factors as well

   if they provide the material and pay you to attend a TTT then you'd expect a different rate to one where you provided the materials or were expected to learn theirs in your own time.

   the volume of work needs to be a factor

    

   as does the length of a working day (eg are you expected to bring back 20 sheets of A1 and copy it all out as feedback)

    

   None of this really helps, so sorry!

3. I’m in a similar position

   I'm in a similar position Jenny.

   In the end, you have to work out what works for you. Many more associate opportunities are being offered at little more than a full time employee would be paid for the day.

   Associate work is drifting more towards the equivalent of a zero hours contract with less benefits!

   In the end, the relationship between a freelance trainer and a provider is a business to business one – each has to negotiate terms that are acceptable.

4. Fair

   I work as an associate and I also use associates! I just expect fairness really. For the £750 you mention, I would expect to pay/be given £400-£500 depending on the amount of prep required and length of day. Hope that helps.

5. Thanks

   Thanks to all for responding.  The % seems to vary enormously, in those cases where I know what the end client is paying my client for my services.
