Digital accessibility training
Practical accessibility training for your teams - tailored to their roles
Helping your team build accessibility into everyday work
Highlighting accessibility barriers is one thing; preventing them is another. Lasting impact comes from embedding accessibility knowledge and skills across your teams.
Our digital accessibility training shows how accessibility affects real users, helping teams make inclusive design and development decisions, avoid common mistakes, and create practical, user-focused experiences that save time, reduce remediation costs, and work for everyone.
Role-based digital accessibility training
Accessibility is a shared responsibility across design, product and development. Each session gives your in-house teams the specific knowledge and skills they need to embed accessibility into their day-to-day work.
Design digital experiences that not only look great, but work for every user
Our training helps design teams understand how accessibility impacts usability and overall experience.
We cover the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), inclusive design principles, and essential aspects such as colour contrast, focus states, layout considerations, and accessible components. Participants learn how design decisions affect disabled users and gain practical skills to create interfaces that are inclusive from the start.
Build websites and apps that that everyone can navigate and interact with.
Our training helps developers implement accessibility from the ground up, ensuring digital products work for all users.
We cover semantic HTML, ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, focus management, accessible forms, and considerations for JavaScript and single-page applications. Participants learn to spot common coding pitfalls that can create barriers and gain the skills to create websites and apps that are both technically accessible and genuinely usable for everyone.
Create digital content that everyone can read, understand, and enjoy.
All your hard work building an accessible app or website can be undone if the content itself isn’t accessible. Our training helps content teams create inclusive digital experiences across every channel.
We cover producing accessible documents and presentations in Word and PowerPoint, remediating PDFs, designing accessible content in InDesign, creating inclusive social media posts with captions and alt text, and producing videos with captions and transcripts.
Spot potential accessibility barriers and share insights that improve your digital products.
Our training helps QA teams understand the principles of accessibility and how to identify potential issues before they reach users.
We cover WCAG guidelines, success criteria, and common accessibility pitfalls, and show how to communicate findings effectively with developers and content teams. By the end of the training, testers will know what to look for, how to evaluate digital products, and how to share insights in a way that supports an inclusive development process.
Embed accessibility into every project - from strategy to delivery.
This training helps product owners and leaders integrate accessibility into every stage of project planning and delivery. We cover strategy, procurement, and decision-making processes, showing how accessibility impacts user experience, compliance, and business outcomes.
Participants gain practical guidance on embedding accessibility into workflows, fostering an inclusive culture, and making informed choices that benefit all users. By the end of the session, leadership teams are equipped to champion accessibility across projects and teams.

Your questions answered
What is digital accessibility training?
Digital accessibility training helps teams understand how people with disabilities interact with websites, apps, and digital services. It provides practical skills for designing, building, and testing accessible content, so teams can make informed, user-focused decisions in their day-to-day work.
Does your training cover WCAG standards?
Yes. Our digital accessibility training includes practical guidance on WCAG principles, helping teams understand the standards and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
How practical is the training?
All sessions are hands-on and interactive, with real-world examples and exercises. Teams gain immediately applicable skills to embed accessibility into daily workflows and decision-making.
Will the training cover real-world examples?
Yes. Our sessions use examples from audits, remediation projects, and accessibility testing with people with disabilities. We can also bring your own websites, apps, or digital content into the training, giving teams hands-on experience solving real accessibility challenges relevant to your organisation.
Do you provide training on how to test with assistive technologies?
Yes. Our sessions give teams hands-on experience using assistive technology tools like:
