Tailored to your needs
We start with an assessment of where you are, understanding your accessibility gaps and identifying who needs the most help. We can provide custom training that incorporates your software, tools, CMS and content.
Practical, collaborative and engaging
It matters to us that you build internal accessibility know-how, so we’ve purposely designed our trainings for maximum impact. You’ll be able to address accessibility now and in the future. You’ll also have access to our extensive library of learning resources, how-to guides and pre-recorded courses so you can always refresh your memory.
Role-based and relevant
Designers, developers, content creators and others play distinct roles and have unique concerns when it comes to accessibility. We provide focused, in-depth training based on the processes, tools and issues most relevant to you and your team members.
