What Affects the Cost of RCA Training?
Apollo RCA training is not priced solely by an individual seat rate. The total cost reflects how the course is delivered and the size of the team being trained.
The main pricing factors are:
Participant Numbers
Private course pricing is structured around group size, commonly up to 5, 10, 15 or 20 participants.
Delivery Format
Onsite and live online training have different delivery requirements and pricing structures.
Training Location
Onsite delivery may include travel and accommodation requirements depending on where your team is located.
Additional Requirements
Large groups, unusual delivery schedules or specific logistical requirements may affect the final quote.

Apollo RCA training includes more than the instructor’s delivery time.
Depending on the selected training format, the package includes:
Live Instructor-Led Training
Structured Apollo RCA training delivered directly to your team.
Practical Exercises
Participants work through cause-and-effect analysis and structured RCA examples.
RC Pro™ Software Access
Each participant receives 12 months of RC Pro™ access for use during and after training.
Course & Facilitator Materials
Supporting materials are provided to reinforce the methodology and practical application.
Certificate of Completion

Group RCA Training Economics
Why Private Team Training Can Be More Cost-Effective
For organisations training several employees, private team-based delivery can often provide better value than sending individuals to separate public courses.
As participant numbers increase within the same private course, the effective training cost per participant generally reduces because the instructor, course setup and delivery are shared across the group.
Private delivery can also reduce indirect costs associated with:
- employee travel
- accommodation
- time away from site
- sending employees to multiple course dates
- inconsistent training between different groups
For site-based organisations, onsite training can also allow engineering, maintenance, operations and reliability personnel to learn the methodology together and develop a shared approach to RCA.
Onsite Training vs Virtual Pricing
| Onsite Training | Live Online Training | |
| Typical format | 2 full training days | 3 × approximately 4-hour sessions |
| Trainer travel | May apply | Not required |
| Participant travel | Usually not required | Not required |
| RC Pro™ included | Yes | Yes |
| Course materials | Yes | Yes |
| Best suited to | Site-based teams | Distributed or remote teams |
| Pricing basis | Group size + delivery location | Group size |
If your team is unsure which format provides the best fit, we can help compare the practical and financial implications of both options.
ROI from Asset Failure & Downtime
Consider the Cost of the Problems Your Team Is Trying to Solve
The value of RCA training should be considered in the context of the problems your organisation is dealing with.
Recurring equipment failures, production interruptions, rework, quality problems and significant incidents can create costs well beyond the immediate repair.
Those costs may include:
- lost production
- equipment downtime
- labour and contractor costs
- repeated repairs
- replacement components
- investigation time
- quality losses
- operational disruption
- safety exposure
- management and engineering resources
Apollo RCA training is intended to build internal capability for investigating significant and recurring problems using a structured cause-and-effect process.
The objective is not to guarantee that every failure can be prevented. It is to help teams improve how they define problems, assess evidence, understand causal relationships and develop corrective actions linked to identified causes.
