The Usability Company's one-day Accessibility Training Course covers the most important issues surrounding accessibility on the Internet and Intranet. The course guides the attendees in negotiating the complex and changing area of accessibility. There have been several scare stories of companies being sued for lack of accessibility on their sites and the WAI guidelines have often been criticised for being overly complex and difficult to implement. Combined with the lack of practical experience and knowledge in this emerging arena, there is much confusion about whether to implement accessibility guidelines, which ones to implement and how to do this on a practical level.

Benefits of the Course

• The main aim of this course is to make sense of web accessibility by aggregating and clarifying the current issues, guidelines and legislations
   
• Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the digital accessible arena: the key issues from a business, legal, technical and moral standpoint, the key guidelines and real world examples of problems and solutions
   
• Attendees will receive clear advice on implementing a simple, practical and effective approach to accessibility on the Internet and Intranet within organisations and projects
   
• Attendees are taught by The Usability Company's highly qualified accessibility and usability specialists. The Usability Company also works with RNIB to provide organisations with a fast track towards achieving RNIB's See It Right logo and invests considerably in training and development so that its staff can provide organisations with the advice and guidance they need on accessibility issues

What the attendees are saying about the course:

Katherine Lewis, Analyst Programmer, Barclays Bank

"I found the course thoroughly stimulating and of tremendous value. We covered the issues surrounding accessibility, the guidelines and the implications to our various businesses. The use of case studies really helped to illustrate the options available and the steps I need to take to ensure that our site is in compliance with the guidelines. The accessibility specialist was exceptional and she delivered a first class course that was both informative and interesting. A day well spent!"

Samantha Pennell, HR Manager, Conchango

"Thank you for such an informative course. I learnt a lot more about online accessibility, the role of The Usability Company in ensuring that it is assessed effectively and how we can work together to implement it. I am really excited about all the accessibility issues that I can now update my team on! The course was comprehensive, easy to follow and provided actionable recommendations."

Nichola Wilkinson, Online Communications Manager, BSI Group

"The Usability Company's accessibility training course was really inspiring. It helped us make sense of the sea of information out there on web accessibility, so that we are now planning to build our site to WAI AA conformants by the end of 2004!

The class size is ideal because we were able to learn from our discussions on real life case studies yet we still managed to get the individual attention necessary for us to fully understand the issues and options pertaining to us. We arrived at the course fully committed to making our website accessible and left fully confident that we will be able to do that in a way that best suits our business needs and, at the same time, fulfils the requirements of the accessibility guidelines."
