I think you are really undervaluing what is being offered, and by the sounds of it the request for training is coming from professional organization, not some one who is doing a small hobby on a Wednesday night at art class.

I am in Australia and listed below are some courses and there costs

ESRI 2 day course: $2,200

AutoCad Beginner 3 days: $3,695

AutoCad intermediate 2 days: $2,495

So if you are looking for an hourly rate, i would up it to the $140 to $160 mark in Aussie dollars.

Very true, to replicate a persons style is very difficult (and not very creative or satisfying), and the companies who are after training there staff to produce an image like yours will soon realize that there is a lot more work in it than they originally thought.

Perhaps you could offer a basic training in the fundamentals of graphics and workflow, but also offer your services for graphics production at the same time. As Andrew says below, it could actually be really good promotion for your own business. Also if you are creating tailored training sessions let the client understand this, that you are offering a personalized service specifically for there business, and this is what you charge. Dont ever under value yourself, if they really want your services they will let you know and you can always come to an agreement.

Good luck.

Kody, really like your style, how do you create the illustrated look, i have been using PS for a few years and have created photomantage style perspectives but am never really satisfied with the end result.
