Q: What training opportunities are available through the center?

A: Each month we offer two-hour ADA training sessions at our Colorado Springs facility. Each session addresses a specific topic on the ADA. These informative trainings are useful for people with extensive ADA experience as well as for those who are just learning about the ADA. At the conclusion of each session, participants have a working knowledge of the subject matter, knowledge of additional resources, and a network of people to share ADA concerns with in the future. Sessions are from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., MT and the cost is $15 per person, including handouts and lunch.

The DBTAC also offers monthly distance learning opportunities. Each session is delivered via telephone conference call. Sessions are scheduled for 1 PM Central Time (12 noon Mountain Time) and last approximately 90 minutes unless otherwise noted. Pre-registration is required. The cost per session is $40 for for-profit organizations or $25 for government or nonprofit agencies.
