## Travel Expenses for Instructors

Carpentries Instructors are volunteers and are not paid for their service. To compensate Instructors for their time teaching, we require the Host to cover expenses for travel, food, and accommodation for in-person workshops. To minimise expenses, we prioritse local Instructors when recruiting. However, we recommend estimating $3,000 total for expenses ($1500 per Instructor). Once the Instructors and workshop dates are finalized, you will work with them directly to plan travel, accommodations, and reimbursements.

A member of the Workshops and Instruction Team will contact the Hosts/Instructors approximately two to three weeks prior to the workshop to find out how many instances are needed. You will be asked to provide the total number of Instructors, helpers and learners. Approximately one week prior to the workshop, the Workshops and Instruction Team will provide you with test instances for each Instructor and helper for testing/practice. Approximately three days before the workshop, you will be asked for your final attendance so we can send you the AWS instances for the workshop. On the day prior to the workshop, the Workshops and Instruction Team will provide you with instances for each Instructor, helper and learner for the workshop. We will also send a few extras for backup. The AWS Instances will be terminated the day after the workshop. Please submit your workshop request/notification form at least 21 days in advance.

{{< accordion title="Can I charge Learners a fee to attend a workshop I host?" >}}

Yes, you can charge learners a fee to attend a workshop. It is up to the Host to decide if they will charge each participant. Often a nominal fee of $20 reduces the number of no-shows. Since most workshops have a wait list, it is best to be able to offer these spots to people on the waitlist instead of having an empty seat.
