In response to numerous requests from smaller members andother MSMEs on island, the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce Industry andAgriculture is hosting its signature programme; “Costing and Pricing.”

This Course is in-depth and delivered in a practical guidance workshop style by a trained and experienced expert and professional, who will impart the critical know-how required by participants who can apply and implement them immediately.
