Usability and Accessibility training
The benefits
Training a selection of your staff brings necessary usability and accessibility skills and knowledge into your organisation, ensuring that best practices are integrated into your design process. The in-house knowledge reduces development time by building usability into the project from the start and by improving the ability to meet the demands for usability and accessibility throughout the project lifecycle so that considerably fewer revisions are needed.Image of User Vision pen and paper.Our training programmesWe offer both public and in-house usability and/or accessibility training courses.In-house courses provide a tailored solution incorporating examples and case studies from your current projects into a customised training course. By using your specific information to illustrate usability and accessibility principles, we bring together the training with your actual project and business goals.Training sessions will usually take place at your own offices, although our own facilities or external venues can be arranged if required.
