Open Doors Organization regularly offers Airline Complaints Resolution Official (CRO) training at major airports in the United States such as New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago. These classroom-based group trainings allow air carriers to conveniently train one or more new CROs.
The two-day program provides hands-on training by experts with disabilities and includes both an in-depth analysis of 14 CFR Part 382 and a Disability Awareness Training Module, also required for all frontline staff under the Air Carrier Access Act regulations. This course may be used by air carriers as a Train-The-Trainer session for their staff.
Attendees receive a CD that includes PowerPoint Presentations, ODO Manual and other documents as well as a ODO Training Certificate upon successful completion of the course.

ODO ADA Motorcoach Training
In January 2012 Open Doors Organization (ODO), in cooperation with the United Motorcoach Association (UMA), launched a new training program for intercity and charter/tour bus operators. The program is designed to help companies meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and also provide the best possible service to their clients with disabilities including older travelers.
The lively, full-day training is conducted by two trainers, one a disability expert from ODO, the other a UMA board member and motorcoach operator. The morning session, which covers ADA basics, disability awareness and service on the coach, is for all personnel including drivers. The afternoon session, which addresses company policies and procedures, is for management and sales staff.
