Review The Guidelines:

  • Trainings must be requested at least 30 days in advance to be considered
  • In-person trainings must be at a fully accessible location/venue. Please note that escalator access is not a substitution for elevator access to floors above the ground/first floor.
  • Requests from entities within Boston city limits will be prioritized
  • In-person training requests from entities outside of the City of Boston Departments must have at least 10 attendees but no more than 30 attendees

  • We have pre-recorded trainings for some of our most commonly requested topics. Please check out our YouTube Channel to see if we already have something in our library that works for your needs!
