Customized Trainings

Sometimes training needs to be specific for a select group of student(s), staff or even for legal reasons. We offer customized training for each of these topics and do an initial intake questionnaire to custom design a training session for your needs. These trainings are often specific to the individual needs of a student, a specific training area for staff members, or even part of a legal settlement or Due process requirement. The rates are the same for this service, but time commitment will vary based upon your needs. We welcome the opportunity to create a customized training for you today, so contact us today to find out more.
