I just checked on the price and it looks like it's still $150. The trainings are currently a week long (6 days) with 2 meetings, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The meetings are about 2-2.5 hour long. Everyone attending the training is expected to attend a study session in the morning to review the previous day's messages and be prepared to get called up for "testing".
LSM recently became very strict regarding hospitality. Here is what they say: "Hospitality will only be provided for domestic trainees (USA and Canada) who are 25 years of age and under." Last time I attended a training, there was no such rule, and one of the better parts of the training was getting to know people from other places. LSM also requires that trainees be under 60 years of age to attend (I guess it's okay for the BB's to break that rule
). The trainings have always been at or near full capacity, but I don't have an exact number.
