Course Details

Comprehensive WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 for Designers and Testers is a three-day course that offers an in-depth exploration of web accessibility, specifically focusing on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and 2.2. The course is designed to equip participants with a solid understanding of web accessibility principles. They will be presented with ethical, legal, and commercial considerations, as well as practical skills in implementing and testing WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 guidelines. Through a series of lectures, hands-on exercises, and demonstrations, attendees will learn the requirements for designing and testing websites that are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

This course is for UX/UI designers, digital content creators, testers, and IT professionals who are responsible for designing, testing, or managing accessible websites or web applications.

Please note that the focus of this course is to learn the WCAG requirements and to understand the requirements for an accessible website or app. While some coding examples may be provided, learning the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript required to produce an accessible website or app is outside the scope of this course.
