Most accessibility training is worth it. The more exposure you get to
different testing methodologies, the better you can evaluate what works
best for you.

Since TT is free, you're not losing money if you don't think it's worth it.

Keep in mind that TT is based on Section 508 which is still WCAG 2.0.
You'd still need training on the additional success criteria in WCAG 2.1.
And TT (v5) only uses the ANDI and CCA tools (

There are lots of other really good tools out there to augment your testing.
