Description
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. They will also learn about the added value accessibility creates for all users.
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.
Legal environment
Participants will familiarize themselves with the legal framework conditions, including WCAG, BITV, and EU directives. We’ll explain how these guidelines can be integrated into the product development process and complied with.
A11y strategy
During this training course, an accessibility strategy will be developed which will demonstrate how developers 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.

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.
