Accessibility for web design training course

Web site accessibility is an important feature of any web site - not only is it a legal requirement in the UK to make web sites accessible to anyone with special needs due to motor impairment, visual or cognitive impairment, it is also greatly beneficial to the usability of websites as a whole. Get your web accessibility right and your website will be more usable and navigable by all, and will provide a richer visitor experience. There are also some benefits to your website's search engine visibility which can be obtained through a thorough approach to website accessibility. This web accessibility training course will teach the underlying concepts behind accessibility for the web and help you to practically implement accessible web design techniques.

Training Facilities

For groups of five and above, we can organise a fully-equiped training suite for you close to Leeds city centre, or in the city of your choice, and at a reasonable price for full and half days. Facilities include, networked PCs, overhead projector, high-speed internet access and refreshments. If you would like to hire a training suite for your training sessions, please let us know in good time and we can make arrangements. All training rooms are compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act.

Training for individuals and small groups is usually delivered on site at client premises, so you will need to be able to provide a small computer suite, cluster or training area where we can work. Trainees should also come equipped with writing materials and stationery as these are not provided.

Web Accessibility Training Course FAQs

Q: Why do we offer one-to-one training courses?

A: Providing one-to-one training means that we can devote our attention specifically to you and the pace you want to learn at. You get the full and undivided attention of our dedicated trainers throughout the duration of the course, allowing then to identify and nurture your strongest competencies and to identify and help you to overcome areas where you are having difficulty.

Q: Do you cater for groups of trainees?

A: Yes, we can cater for groups and training can either take place on your premises or at a training suite in a city of your choice.

Q: Why do you offer bespoke/tailored training courses rather than off-the-shelf training courses?

A: While we do provide off-the-shelf training courses, we also think it is important to offer you the opportunity to focus on the specific skills you want to learn. Many IT training companies take a one-size fits all approach to software training and book you in as part of a group on a pre-diarised day to learn a generic syllabus. Our approach to training is to allow you to specify areas of the software that you want to concentrate upon, and then tailor your training course accordingly. This gives us the flexibility to respond to your specific business needs. This also allows us to train you on the exact version of the software that you use in the workplace.

Q: What information do you need from me when I book a training course?

A: We need to know what version of the software you want training upon, your level of competency (e.g. basic, intermediate or advanced) and information about any specific training requirements you have.
