Relevant to your needs
The training covers everything you need to know in order to make sure your websites meet the requirements of the WAI WCAG 2.0 accessibility guidelines as well as Irish legislation and public policy. In addition, you will learn about how to maximise ease of use for older people and people with disabilities.
Courses will be tailored to the specific needs of your organisation, with examples and exercises focussed on your own websites. The small class sizes will ensure you get individual attention and hands-on experience with assistive technologies such as screen reader and screen magnifier software. Depending on your specific needs, we can cover specific topics in more depth, e.g. assistive technologies, authoring and evaluation tools, AJAX, Flash and PDF.
Participants must have a basic understanding of creating websites using HTML/CSS. No prior web accessibility knowledge is required.
Effective
By the end of the training you will have a thorough understanding of the needs of older and disabled users and will be able to create designs and content that meet their needs without compromising on functionality or aesthetics. You will be in a position to immediately begin implementing this new knowledge to improve your own websites.
