About Pricing
The Touchstone team utilizes a sliding scale payment model for all our trainings
Continuing education has historically been inaccessible to a large portion of the population creating greater inequity and hardship for those without the financial means to support such learning. We believe that all people deserve to have access to resources that support their professional development and personal growth.
