What is by request training?
Amigos will provide a private training session, either online or face-to-face, for your library or local group designed specifically to meet your needs. By request training is an effective way to meet your organization’s training needs.

How do I request a session?
Contact Amigos at learning@amigos.org. Your request will be directed to the appropriate trainer.

How much notice is necessary to schedule by request sessions?
Amigos will make every effort to meet your request. We can generally schedule sessions with six weeks' notice. We honor requests on a first come, first served basis.

What is the fee for by request training?
Contact Amigos Training Support at learning@amigos.org for pricing. Amigos member libraries receive a reduced fee of approximately 50%.

What is included in the fee?
The fee includes the trainer’s time and travel expenses (for face-to-face courses only). Amigos provides a registration system to receive attendee information and provide access instructions. Online trainings include recording access for three months. 

Can my library request training through Amigos for courses taught by adjunct trainers?
Yes. As part of Amigos' continuing efforts to bring you a diverse variety of training opportunities, we look to expert trainers in certain fields and contract with them to develop and present training for libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. For courses taught by adjunct trainers, by request policies and fees may vary, but Amigos will contract with the trainer and provide the registration system, learning platform, and recording access.
