Discussing the terms and conditions of vocational training

Customer: We're here to discuss the possibility of your training our spe­cialists in Russia, Mr N.

Supplier: How many specialists are you going to send for training?

С We're planning to send 5 specialists approximately for a year.

S. We think that the period of their stay here in Russia could be reduced to 6 months.

С It's up to you to decide. But do you think 6 months will be enough?

S. From our experience we know that a period of 6 months is quite suffi­cient for the vocational training of this kind of specialists.

С If you really think it's sufficient we'll accept it. Shall we consider the matter settled?

S. I think yes. Now let's turn to the question of expenses.

C. Oh, that's a very important question. How much will that be?

S. It's... pounds sterling for each trainee, per month.

C. Oh, that's a very large sum. Last year we sent a group of our specialists to... and paid much less.

S. Perhaps so, but you certainly remember that our actual expenses on each trainee come to... pounds, as we offer all-round services. They
