Accessible Customer Service Plan for Learning Tree International – Canada

Our mission is to provide technical professionals and managers with the skills and knowledge that significantly enhance their on-the-job productivity and thereby improve the performance and increase the competitive advantage of their employers. In fulfilling this mission, the Company strives at all times to provide its goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of individuals with disabilities.

OUR COMMITMENT

In fulfilling our mission, the Company is committed to excellence in serving all customers, including people with disabilities. We are also committed to providing individuals with disabilities the same opportunity to access our goods and services and allowing them to benefit from the same services, in the same place and in a similar way as other members of the public.

PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES

The Company is committed to excellence in serving all customers including individuals with disabilities and we will carry out our functions and responsibilities in the following areas:

Communication
We will communicate with individuals with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability. The Company will offer to communicate with individuals e-mail or in person if telephone communication is not suitable for the person's communication needs. The Company will also provide publications in alternative formats, upon request, dependent upon document specifications.

Assisted Devices
The Company recognizes that some customers with disabilities use assistive devices in order to access or benefit from the Company's services. The Company will use its best efforts to accommodate all assistive devices. However, if necessary, the Company will use alternate methods to provide service to customers with disabilities in a manner that takes their disability into consideration.

Telephone Services
If telephone communication is not suitable to the needs of the disabled individual, we will offer to communicate with customers by e-mail. For any disabled persons attempting to access our services, we individualize accommodation as required. As technology continues to change and improve, we will provide the best solution available at that time.

Billing
If telephone communication is not suitable to the needs of the disabled individual, we will offer to communicate with customers by e-mail. For any disabled persons attempting to access our services, we individualize accommodation as required. As technology continues to change and improve, we will provide the best solution available at that time.

SERVICE ANIMALS AND SUPPORT PERSONS

We welcome individuals with disabilities and their service animals. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public.

We also welcome individuals who are accompanied by a support person. Any person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to enter the Company's premises with his or her support person. Fees will not be charged for support persons.

NOTICE OF TEMPORARY DISRUPTION

Should a temporary disruption occur we will notify individuals promptly. This notice will be clearly posted and will include information about the reason for the disruption, the anticipated duration and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available.

In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to services or facilities for those with disabilities, we will provide prompt notification by way of:

• Telephone, e-mail, poster on the front door and in reception.
• E-mail will be sent to staff so they can communicate to those affected.

TRAINING FOR STAFF & OTHERS

Training will be provided to all Company employees, agents and/or contractors who deal with the public that act on behalf of the Company.

As reflected in Ontario Regulation 429/07, regardless of the format, training will cover the following:

• An overview of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 and the requirements of the customer service standard
• Our plan related to the customer service standard
• Video "Service-Ability: Transforming Ontario's Customer"
• How to interact and communicate with people with various types of disabilities
• How to interact with people with disabilities who use an assistive device or require the assistance of a service animal or a support person
• What to do if a person with a disability is having difficulty in accessing our services
• Staff will also be trained when changes are made to the plan

Training will also be provided to new employees, agents and/or contractors who deal with the public or act on our behalf during orientation. Revised training will be provided in the event of changes to legislation, procedures and/or practices. The Company will keep a record of training that includes the dates training was provided and the number of employees who attended the training.
