Web accessibility training

There are four key drivers for designing inclusively:

1. It's good business: at least 22% of people in the UK have digital access needs. Fail to design inclusively and you’re turning away a share of £420 million each week.
2. It's a legal obligation: digital accessibility is a regulatory requirement. Non-compliance comes at significant legal risk.
3. It's the right thing to do: 49% of disabled people feel excluded from society. Your website or app should not be part of the problem.
4. It improves usability: Countless examples that show that when you improve accessibility, you improve usability for all your customers alike.

We provide bespoke, private accessibility training for in-house teams.

Our programmes are perfect for organisations who want to grow and align team capabilities quickly. We customise topics and content to your needs. And we tackle your most pressing issues as a team. 

Right now, our accessibility training is 100% remote. It's typically run across three days in two-hour sessions.
