I would find someone who is already offering said workshops - a local association or training company, perhaps - and form a relationship with them to host the events.
Right now we don't have many events other than user group meetings or CoLab-specific events. We have "lunch and learn" several times per month, one of which I organize. I teach Drupal CMS and other New Media classes, like podcasting and videblogging. http://drupaleasy.com The price is really dependent on the subject, audience, experience level, etc. For private tutoring I normally quote $75 an hour, or anywhere from $125-325 for an all-day (8 hour) group session. I shoot for groups between 10 and 20 people, but we have taught 30-person sessions. Unfortunately, I can't teach the large sessions in our coworking space, because the space does not have that kind of capacity right now. Some training can garner thousands of dollars per day per trainee, but many sessions like that require a big-name trainer or a computer lab with fully licensed software. Our School District's Vo-Tech center is a few blocks away, and they offer classes like that in Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and Flash. Since Adobe and Apple have certified software- specific certifications, there are more hoops to jump through to be a certified training center. On the other hand, a survey by our state- wide Digital Media Alliance of industry professionals says that the certification doesn't count as much as your portfolio and job experience. If your space has A/V available (projector, screen, etc) and partner with catering or a local shop for providing coffee and other refreshments, boxed lunch, that would the space more attractive to me as a trainer.
