How to manage combined consulting + training type of assignments

Hi!

I need guidance on how to manage a special type of assignment we have at our consulting company. Some of our assignments combine consulting work with standard training. For the consulting portion, we quote time and a user rate and we charge for the time worked on the project, so there are no issues there. But for the training portion, the training is charged at a flat fee, but the trainer also books time against it, for example, while preparing for it and delivering it.

What is the best way to handle this? The hours for the trainer need to count towards his/her average fee rate, but we would not charge the client based on hours for that portion of the assignment.

Any ideas?

Thank you! Juan
