In the US and Mexico you should pay about 300 a day for technical training. If instructors/shops are offering courses at fixed prices, you're likely going to get substandard or minimum standard training
Not always! My TDI air dil no deco (mod 1) class in fall 2022 was $1800 in the US Midwest (Wisconsin). It was a full month of weekends. Instructor is a maritime archaeologist for full time job so only teaches on the weekends.
Similarly to @VikingDives, my Mod1 CCR course was $300/day not including any entry fees or consumables. That is a good baseline from what I've seen. I took my course in FL.
$300 a day and MOD 1 course is usually 5-6 days.

Bought the rebreather through the instructor. 5 years ago it was a grand with no consumables, boat fees, books, etc.
Budget $3k and enjoy anything that comes in under that. There are a lot of variables to the overall cost.

I recently paid $2000 in instructor fees for 5 days (90 to 200+ min diving daily) with the understanding that extra time would cost more. We stayed together in a condo near the beach while completing the course and I feel like I got a ton of value out of it. This was for a TDI Air Dil CCR course. E-learning was extra and I paid all incidentals for the instructor.

I am assuming you are checking cost to shop around for the best price. If that is the case I think you will find that most CCR courses are pretty standard in pricing as you can see from the previous post.
The way you should pick a rebreather course is based on the instructor not the price. What you really want and what you are really paying for is that instructors experience especially when you do your MOD 3. Your money is paying or all the things that are not thought in the book but come from thousands of hours of experience.
