CompTIA Authorized Partner Badge

Web accessibility is the key to creating digital experiences that work for more people, regardless of how they navigate or interact online. This expert-led course helps you understand what accessibility really means in everyday design and testing work, and why it is an essential part of creating user-friendly, inclusive websites and apps. Through engaging presentations and real-world demonstrations, you will see how thoughtful design decisions make a lasting difference.

Throughout the lecture based course, a seasoned UI expert will showcase and demonstrate many practical examples, share lessons from actual projects, and show how to approach accessibility with clarity and confidence. You will explore how people experience the web in different ways, what common barriers look like, and how to apply the key WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 standards to improve usability and compliance. You will also discuss the role of assistive tools, keyboard access, readable content, and ethical considerations that shape inclusive design decisions.

This course is ideal for designers, developers, QA testers, product teams, and content creators who want to build their understanding of accessibility and WCAG standards. Whether you are just starting to explore inclusive design or looking to support your team’s accessibility efforts, this course gives you real insights and actionable ideas to bring back to your work. No hands-on activities are required during class, so you can focus on learning from expert examples, asking questions, and participating in guided discussions that help connect the material to your own role.

Objectives

The overall goal of this course is to help you build the skills and confidence to create web experiences that are accessible, inclusive, and easy for everyone to use.

Throughout the course, guided by our expert UX/UI Accessibility instructor, you will learn how to:

  • Explain what web accessibility means and why it is essential for inclusive design.
  • Identify different types of disabilities and how they can impact digital interactions.
  • Understand how assistive technologies work and how users rely on them.
  • Apply the four WCAG principles to improve the accessibility of websites and digital content.
  • Evaluate web content using basic accessibility tools and testing strategies.
  • Recognize ethical and legal responsibilities related to accessibility and inclusive design.

If your team requires different topics, additional skills or a custom approach, our team will collaborate with you to adjust the course to focus on your specific learning objectives and goals.
