Who do you think offers the best ARIA training for web developers?
Let's assume we don't want to go the self-teaching route. That is, we want
an in-person course ideally, or a web-based course if there are no good
in-person courses.
Let's assume the developers are competent at HTML / CSS / JS and roughly
familiar with accessibility, but they don't have any formal training with
ARIA so some of their attempts to use it have been error prone.
Thanks.

It isn't a training course, but when you have finished whatever course you
find you will still have questions about how to mark up many components.
The definitive specification for that is W3C's ARIA Authoring Practices
v1.1. It details the ARIA to use, and the expected key presses, for all the
more commonly used components such as tabs, dialogs, multi-level menus and
many more.
If your developers follow that they can't easily go wrong, and they will
also be creating components that work the same way as components from
anyone who is following the same spec.
