Equal Access Program
Access to training should not be limited by financial barriers. Choose your path below to get started.
Our Equal Access Program helps remove barriers that have limited access to training for many individuals—while creating opportunities for others to support that access.
Whether you’re looking to attend or help someone else attend, you’re in the right place.
Need assistance?
If you’re interested in attending a class but cost is a barrier, we offer financial assistance options to help make training more accessible. Partial or full assistance may be available.
Simple application. Reviewed with care and respect.
Want to support access?
Support access to training by contributing toward classes, instruction, and learning opportunities for individuals who may not otherwise be able to attend. Contributions of any amount help expand access, for example, $120 can fully fund a standard training seat.
Not tax-deductible. Directly supports student access.
Why this matters
We believe more people should have access to quality training, safe instruction, and a welcoming learning environment.
This program helps remove barriers that have limited access to training for many individuals for far too long.
By combining community support with thoughtful access, we’re able to create:
- More opportunities to attend training
- Safer, more informed students
- Stronger, more prepared communities
How the program works
- Community members can support training access
- Individuals can apply for financial assistance
- Sponsored funds are used to support approved applicants
- Assistance is offered based on availability and need

This approach allows us to expand access while keeping the process simple, respectful, and sustainable. Contributions are applied where they are needed most.
Access matters.
Whether you’re here to support someone else or take the next step yourself, this program exists to make training more accessible.
