Step

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
