Every guide in the AskAFriend Consumer Guide Series comes with a matching set of teaching and training materials, built to one shared standard so you always know exactly what you’re getting — no matter which title you’re working from. Whether you want to introduce a topic to a room in an hour, run a full guided workshop day, or teach an entire course around one of our guides, there’s a package built for it. In every case, the companion guide itself is optional — nobody needs to own or read the book to get full value from the program.
Community Education Program — Free, 1 Hour
A ready-to-run, one-hour introduction built for libraries, adult-education centers, support groups, and community organizations. No cost, no book required, and everything a facilitator needs — deck, guide, workbook, flyer — is included.

One-Day Workshop
A full instructional day of guided, hands-on learning on a single topic — six timed modules, scenario-based exercises, a pre- and post-workshop assessment, and a completed personal action plan and certificate by the end of the day. Sold as a stand-alone workshop, including through Teachers Pay Teachers.

Complete Teacher’s Toolkit — Full Course
Everything an instructor needs to build and teach a full course around one of our guides — flexible 15-, 8-, or 5-week syllabi, a complete instructor guide, test bank, midterm and final exams, a capstone project, and a slide deck for every chapter. Included at no extra cost with any bulk or classroom order of the guide — it isn’t sold on its own.

Every package in every tier follows the same architecture across all titles in the series. The examples on the following pages use specific guides to make the format concrete, but the description holds true whichever guide you pair it with.
Consumer Toolkits
Prefer to work through a problem on your own rather than attend a class or workshop? AskAFriend Consumer Toolkits turn selected Consumer Guide topics into focused, self-contained digital packages with practical guides, workbooks, checklists, scenarios, and decision tools.
Each toolkit is designed for individual consumers and households, and can be used without purchasing the companion book. Current and upcoming toolkits cover fraud defense, car buying, contractor hiring, and other high-stakes consumer decisions.
