AI Consulting Cost in Canada — What You'll Actually Pay with Hero
Hero publishes its prices. AI training starts at C$297 per person, AI consulting assessments are C$1,500 or C$3,500, and AI security uses the same posted training and assessment prices. Everything is in Canadian dollars, before tax.
Close to home. Across Canada.
Why we publish prices
Most buyers want to know the size of the decision before a sales call. Posted prices make it easier to compare, easier to get approval, and harder for anyone to inflate the scope.
Three services: AI training, AI consulting, AI security
| Service | You leave with | Best when | Posted price (CAD, before tax) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI training | Skills and safe habits on the tools you already pay for | You want people using AI well, this month | Free AI Hour (when scheduled) · C$297 workshop · C$497 live course · C$2,500 / C$4,500 team training |
| AI consulting | A written 90-day plan: what to do, what to skip, who owns it | You need priorities before you spend on tools | Free fit call · C$1,500 (up to 20 staff) · C$3,500 (20–100 staff) |
| AI security | Security training, an AI security assessment, and a written AI use policy | Staff already use AI and nobody has set the rules | Training at posted prices · assessment C$1,500 / C$3,500 · policy quoted after the assessment |
When you're ready, we can help put the plan in place. That follow-on help is only for clients who have completed an assessment, and it is scoped from the written plan.
AI training
| Format | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free AI Hour | A live hour on using AI at work, with one safe task to try. A date is posted on the AI Hour page when one is scheduled. | Free |
| Workshop | About three hours, hands-on, small group. One complete task practised from first draft to checked result. | C$297 / person |
| Course | A live founding group (not an on-demand video library). Includes 3 months in the member group. | C$497 |
| Team training | Private training for your team, on site in the GTA or online, built around your own tasks with sensitive details swapped for fictional ones. | C$2,500 half day · C$4,500 full day |
AI consulting
| Step | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free fit call | 30 minutes. Is an assessment the right size? What would we look at? | Free |
| AI consulting assessment | Leadership interviews, a short staff survey, a review of the tools you already pay for, and a written 90-day plan: where AI is worth using, what to leave alone, what information stays out, and who owns each step. | C$1,500 (up to 20 staff) · C$3,500 (20–100 staff) |
AI security
| Step | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| AI security training | What a work account is for, what never gets pasted in, how to check an answer, and how to spot a manipulated document or prompt. | Posted training prices |
| AI security assessment | Which AI tools are in use, under whose accounts, what data goes in, who has access, and a ranked list of what to fix first. | C$1,500 (up to 20 staff) · C$3,500 (20–100 staff) |
| AI use policy | A plain-language policy, approved-tool list, and data rules based on what the assessment found. | Quoted after the assessment |
This is a practical assessment. It is not a certification, a formal compliance report, or legal advice. If you need one of those, we will say so and point you to the right kind of specialist.
Budget ladder
| Budget | A sensible first step |
|---|---|
| Free | Free fit call, free guide, or a free AI Hour when one is scheduled |
| Under C$1,000 | Workshop seats for one to three people, or the live course |
| C$1,500 – C$3,500 | An AI consulting assessment or an AI security assessment |
| C$2,500 – C$4,500 | A private team training day |
What affects cost
- Team size — the assessment tier depends on headcount (up to 20, or 20 to 100)
- Format — a half day or a full day of team training
- Scope — an AI use policy is quoted after the security assessment, based on what it found
- Follow-on help — only if you ask, scoped from your written plan after an assessment
Grants and funding
The Ontario Job Grant may cover part of training costs for eligible employers. Hero has not confirmed eligibility. Check the program and your own adviser before you count on it.
Taxes and payment
Prices are before tax. No card is charged on the website. We confirm each paid booking by email and send an invoice or payment link. Refund rules are on the Refunds page.
What you pay Hero vs what you pay vendors
Hero does not resell software. Any AI tool licences (for example Copilot, Gemini, or ChatGPT business plans) are paid directly to the vendor, under your own account.
