Public Trainings Based on Your Agency Needs

Are you looking for training on a specific topic? We can design a workshop around your staff development needs and open the training to the public for additional participation. You can request a preferred speaker, or we'll find the best speaker that matches your needs. Best of all, you can save on the final training by using an agency subscription or group pricing discount.

Ideal for: Agencies with 20 or more staff to train on a specific topic.

Includes: Access to a complimentary company profile and portal for your admins, so you can keep track of staff registration and completion.

Note: If we have recently offered training on your requested topic, we require at least six months before offering the same course again. If you need something sooner, and your budget allows, a customized agency training may be a better fit.

Customized Trainings for Your Agency

Are you looking for a custom workshop just for your team? We can design a training specifically tailored to your staff development needs. We'll find the most qualified trainer for your goals and handle the registration process, logistics, CEs, evaluations and certificates for both online and in-person programs. 

Ideal for: Agencies with at least 40-50 staff to train on a specific topic. Don't have enough staff but work with another agency that's interested in this topic? We can customize the training for both agencies, and you receive all the benefits of a single agency. 

Includes: Access to a complimentary company profile and portal for your admins, so you can keep track of staff registration and completion.
