Course overview

Are you responsible for the design or development of a web application and have the short- to medium-term goal of improving its accessibility? Or might this even be a legal requirement for your application? Years ago, accessibility was often treated as a marginal issue. But it has become increasingly important, and the European Accessibility Act has now also made it a mandatory topic for the private sector.

This course will give you a compact introduction to the subject of accessibility. You will learn about the relevant standards and guidelines and find out how to integrate accessibility into your design and development process. The course will be rounded off with best practices based on our project experience along with practical examples, which eases the transfer to your day-to-day work.
