* A [bootcamp class](https://www.plainlanguage.gov/training/train-the-trainer-bootcamp/) to become a plain language trainer at your organization
If you're not a federal employee, you can also find [online training](https://www.plainlanguage.gov/training/online-training/) and look at our resources below.
