A quick and cost effective training method

Training staff and volunteers on the AODA can be time consuming and requires a certain level of knowledge and skill. Consider Accessibility Ontario’s online training course if you haven’t trained all your staff and volunteers, or as new people join your organization.

Our Customer Service e-learning was designed with input from organizations like yours who are busy and strapped for money. Here are some of the key features:

Easy: Requires only that you send in the names and email addresses of people who will take the course
Efficient: Participants will be able to take the course in less than 24 hours after you send us their names
Quick: The course takes 20-minutes and covers all the content required by the AODA
Thorough: There is a short quiz to ensure understanding of the content
Value Add: Participants will get a certificate of completion
Proof: Organization administrators receive a report of who has successfully completed the course and this can be kept as a record of the training
Economical: Costs for the course have been kept as low as possible. Consider buying “seats” for current and future training needs to get a better price.

Accessibility Ontario is delighted to offer businesses and organizations our “Service Animals Welcome” sticker. One of the requirements of the Accessible Customer Service Standard is that you allow service animals onto your property. Let your customers and clients  with disabilities know that they are welcome by putting one of these signs in a visible location such as your front window or door.

The removable sticker is 4″ x 3.5″ in size and is laminated for long lasting and outdoor use.   Contact us to get yours!

“Thank you very much, Constance. You could not have made it any easier (to order stickers).”

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005
, also known as the AODA, became law on June 13, 2005.  The purpose of the AODA is to develop, implement and enforce mandatory accessibility standards in key areas of daily living. Standards have been developed in Customer Service; Information and Communications; Employment; Transportation. In addition to these standards which have now been legislated, there remains one more standard to be enacted: Built Environment. The accessibility standards will apply to private and public sector organizations across Ontario. The goal of the AODA is an accessible Ontario by 2025.  Read more.
