Sales Questions
Some of our courses are available for purchase with multiple licenses, perfect for groups or teams. The course content remains the same, but you can choose a license package that fits the size of your group.
Example:
If you want to train your entire office of 10 people on WCAG, you can purchase the 10-license package for the WCAG Course.
How It Works:
- When you purchase a multi-license package, you will receive individual logins for each license. This allows each team member to access the course independently.
For larger teams or agencies with clients, contact us about pricing at info@adacompliance.net.
