Web accessibility training philosophy
Our web accessibility training follows one basic principle:
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
Chinese proverb
Put simply, we don't want to make your website accessible - we want you to make your website accessible. The web accessibility training lasts for one full day, during which time you'll complete a series of exercises designed for you to discover the answers by yourself and then put into practice what you've learnt.
By the end of the day, you'll have created an accessibility action plan for your website and will have acquired a deep understanding of what makes an accessible website. As a result of our hands-on web accessibility training, you'll have:
- A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
- Ownership of what you've learnt
- The ability to apply what you've learnt again and again in the future
Our web accessibility training courses are relatively small (maximum 10 participants) due to their interactive nature and are informal and fun.
Our web accessibility training centre
Web accessibility courses are run at our purpose-built training centre at the Webcredible offices in London & some other locations across the UK. The web accessibility training itself is run in a bright airy room with each person having access to a PC. You can also use our break-out area during breaks and lunch where refreshments are provided throughout the day.
