Description
In this training course, which we’ve developed specifically for product owners, we’ll focus on integrating accessibility into the digital product life cycle. We’ll demonstrate how product owners can establish accessibility as an integral element of their product strategies.
Why accessibility
We’ll clarify the importance of accessibility for users with both permanent and temporary impairments. Product owners will learn how essential it is to facilitate access to digital products for everyone and thus to reach a larger market.
How people with impairments use the Internet
Participants will gain insights into the use of assistive technologies. They will thus attain a better understanding of how to optimise their products for these technologies. They will use screen reader statistics and other data to understand the relevance of accessibility for their target groups.
Accessibility business case
We’ll work together to determine how accessibility can increase the market value of a product and why it is a key factor in social responsibility and innovation. We’ll also discuss how accessibility can help minimise risks and fulfil legal requirements.
Legal environment
Participants will familiarize themselves with the legal framework conditions relevant for product owners, including WCAG, BITV, and EU directives. We’ll show participants how these guidelines can be integrated into product development processes and complied with.
A11y strategy
During this training course, an accessibility strategy will be developed which will demonstrate how product owners can integrate accessibility into their development processes from the very outset (shift-left approach). We’ll discuss how automated testing can help to efficiently ensure accessibility standards.
This interactive training course provides product owners with practice-relevant knowledge and methods to enable them to establish accessibility as an integral element of their product vision. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to incorporate accessibility into their products as a key quality characteristic and thus to make a valuable contribution to an inclusive user experience.

Our training approach
From the needs analysis to the awarding of certificates, we offer customized training courses, flexibly designed and carried out according to your requirements.
If you are interested in in-house training, we will start by identifying your needs and discussing your objectives. This discussion forms the basis for an initial offer.
As soon as the framework data has been clarified, our trainers start adapting the training content. Many of our training courses have a modular structure and offer the opportunity to design the agenda flexibly. Training courses that prepare for certifications, on the other hand, are less flexible. Here, however, you can set the content focus according to your wishes.
You will receive all relevant information in advance of the training. The training will then take place in the room of your choice and at the agreed time. Our trainers will adapt to your requirements.
After completing the training, all participants receive a certificate confirming their participation. You will also have the opportunity to give us feedback on the content and the course. We are always happy to receive praise and suggestions for improvement.
