A company buyer asks what one participant's place costs, whether registration can be cancelled without charge and whether it is possible to get to know the training free of charge. These decide 50 points out of 100.

Notes
The comparison includes six training companies. The price is measured from one participant's open programme or coaching without value added tax, so the content and duration of the programmes are not the same.
Cancellation terms and free events are scored only if the company states them on its own website. If the terms were not found on the checked pages, the information is missing and the motive receives zero.
About this comparison
We scored 6 corporate training services on 20 metrics. We compared the publication of open course prices, availability of remote training, the offering of tailored programmes, references and accreditations.
The field of corporate training is wide: from leadership coaching to sales training and from team development to change management. The essential difference is between open courses and tailored organisational training. An open course suits an individual or a small team, the price is public and enrolment is easy. A tailored programme is built around the organisation's needs, often without a public price.
What transparency means in this category
The price in euros of an open training day or programme published on the website without a request for quote (25), remote or online training offered: remote participation options clearly described on the course pages or in the navigation (20), a tailored organisation-specific training programme offered: customer-specific solutions mentioned on the website (15), references or customer stories published: named client companies or case examples visible (15), accreditation or a well-known certificate mentioned: e.g. an international certification programme or an official qualification (10), business ID (Y-tunnus) or company details shown: can be found in the terms of delivery, privacy practices or contact details (10), trainers or coaches introduced by name or profile on the website (5)
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
The open course price is the most important transparency metric. A large share of corporate training is quote-based bespoke work whose price is not published. In the table, 'yes' is marked if the concrete price of an open course or programme can be found on the website without making contact.
Distance learning covers online courses and hybrid formats. A mere 'Teams link on request' is not enough, remote training options must be clearly described.
Accreditation means a recognised certification programme. International certifications (e.g. ICF coaching, Scrum, PMI) or official qualifications from the Finnish National Agency for Education (Opetushallitus) get full points; mentioning an in-house 'diploma' programme gets partial points.
Comparison guide
What to consider in the comparison
Check whether the price is per person or for the whole group; the difference can be tenfold.
Remote training saves on travel costs, but requires good online facilitation.
An accredited certification programme can be useful in recruitment; ask the provider.
A tailored programme is often the most cost-effective option for a large group (over 10 people).
How Suomen Paras assesses and scores
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
Expert tips
Ask for references from the same industry before deciding.
Ask whether the training can be paid for with a Smartum or ePassi balance (employee benefit).
Also compare the trainers' backgrounds: practical experience vs. academic expertise.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an open course and tailored training?
An open course is open to everyone, with a public price and schedule. Tailored training is designed for your organisation's needs and your group, with the price negotiated separately.
How much does corporate training cost?
Daily prices for open courses vary from about 500 to 2,000 euros per person depending on the trainer and the topic. The total price of a tailored programme depends on the group size and the duration.
Is the cost of training tax-deductible?
Staff training related to business operations is typically tax-deductible in business taxation. Check your own situation with your accounting firm.
