In-Person Training
Bring Accessibility to Your Team
Sometimes a live training session makes more sense than an online course.
Public Sector Digital Media Academy grew out of live, in-person professional development. While I eventually created PSDMA to make that training available on demand, I still offer a limited number of in-person sessions each year for organizations that want hands-on training with their own team.
Because I continue to work as a school district webmaster, my availability for travel is limited. I currently accept a maximum of four in-person training sessions each year.
Training Built Around Your Organization
This isn't a presentation where I show up, run through a slide deck, and leave you with a stack of things to figure out later.
Before your training session, I'll review your website and select two documents currently published on your site. During the training, we'll use your own content as part of the learning process.
We'll test pages from your website, identify accessibility issues, and work through the remediation process together. I'll also walk your team through rebuilding the two documents I selected, showing you how to approach the accessibility issues from the beginning rather than simply fixing them after the fact.
The goal is for your team to leave with more than an understanding of accessibility requirements. You'll have experience applying those principles to the content you're actually responsible for managing.

Pricing
Full-Day In-Person Training Session – $3,500
The $3,500 investment includes a complete day of live, expert-led training for groups up to 12 people, with all necessary materials provided. Larger teams can be accommodated upon request; simply let me know how many will be attending on the request form below and I will send you a custom quote.
Complimentary travel is provided for all clients within 400 miles of Austin, Texas. For organizations outside of this radius, standard travel costs will be calculated and added to the final quote. As a general guide, this includes areas from Fort Stockton, Texas, to the west; the Oklahoma City metropolitan area to the north; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to the east.
I prioritize transparency by offering travel at cost without markups or per diem fees. These expenses are based on real-time market rates and appear as distinct line items.
All project quotes remain valid for 10 days.
Limited Availability
I only schedule four in-person training sessions each year. This allows me to continue working as a school district webmaster while making time for organizations that want this type of hands-on training.
When you submit the request form, you'll be asked to provide your preferred date or dates, along with alternative dates that would work for your organization. Once I receive your request, I'll check my calendar and reach out to confirm the date or see if one of your alternative dates will work.

For training requiring additional travel, travel arrangements will be booked using fares that allow for cancellations or changes. The same 14-day cancellation policy applies. Cancellations made at least 14 days before the scheduled training date will not incur a cancellation fee. A $150 cancellation fee will apply to cancellations made less than 14 days before the scheduled training date.
