How to I estimate the cost of producing Interactive Training?

First, keep in mind that a Computer Based Training program can be anything from an hour of page turning screen text, to a full blown multimedia game with 3-D animation and a highly interactive, adaptive interface. Therefore one type of training package will take much more effort to produce than the other kind.

Generally, factors that will influence the overall cost include difficulty of the subject matter, amount and type of interactivity, number and type of graphics, animations, video, and audio that will be used in the training program.
First steps - Measurement

In order to estimate the effort associated with producing the training we need to have an idea of the size of the package that will be produced.

The most useful measurement for training development is expected hours of student interaction.
Generally, our training programs require anywhere from 300 to 500 hours of development effort per hour of training. The discrepancy in predicted hours is the result of the large number of variables associated with the production.
How much money have you got?

You may be surprised to learn that a common approach is simply to ask the client "How much have you got to spend?" We will then work towards developing a product within that budget.
How does it compare with a similar previously developed product?

A common method that we use to estimate cost is based on a comparison between the product to be developed and a similar product that we have already developed.
