DITA Mentors (and Consultants)

One of the great advantages to being a part of DITA Users is the ability to collaborate online with a DITA Mentor. These mentors are available for help with your single-sourcing projects.

Mentors can provide training and support by chat, email, phone, and screensharing (hourly rates may be different). Generally, you must pay in advance for mentor time, typically by sending money to the Mentor's PayPal account.

DITA Webinars will be led by DITA Mentors. Attendees will screen share to see exactly how to use DITA and solve DITA problems with your own projects.

We also list prominent DITA Consultants who are available to help with your needs.

Rockley Group (Ann Rockley)

People frequently ask: "Can I use DITA"? The simple answer is yes. However, a more appropriate question would be: "What will it take to make DITA work for me"?
