Ignite Your team passion for digital accessibility
Our training where we turn digital accessibility from a daunting challenge into an exciting opportunity. Our innovative training programme doesn't just teach your team about accessibility – it inspires them to become enthusiastic champions for inclusive design.

What is accessibility training all about?
This is our bespoke accessibility training programme designed to ignite passion and build expertise in creating accessible digital experiences. We've ditched the endless list of bullet points and dry lectures in favour of dynamic, interactive sessions that get your team excited about accessibility.
Our approach blends real-world examples, hands-on exercises, and collaborative problem-solving to make learning both practical and enjoyable. We cover everything from basic principles to advanced techniques, tailoring the content to your team's needs and your organisation's goals.
Whether you're just starting your accessibility journey or looking to level up your existing skills, our training provides a fresh perspective. We show how accessibility isn't a box-ticking exercise, but a brilliant opportunity to innovate and reach more people with your digital products and services.
How our training help your business?
Our accessibility training equips your team with immediately applicable skills to create more inclusive digital experiences. Our workshops are designed to be engaging and memorable, ensuring that the knowledge sticks long after the training ends.
We don't just lecture; we facilitate active learning. Your team will get hands-on experience with assistive technologies, practise identifying and fixing common accessibility issues, and learn how to integrate accessibility into their existing workflows.
By the end of our training, your team won't just understand accessibility - they'll be passionate advocates for it. They'll see how making your digital offerings more accessible can lead to better usability for everyone, potentially increasing your audience and improving user satisfaction across the board.
What you'll get out of attending our training?
Investing in our accessibility training isn't just about ticking a compliance box. It's about unlocking new potential in your digital offerings and your team. You'll see a shift in mindset, with accessibility becoming a natural part of your design and development process rather than an afterthought.
This proactive approach can save you time and money in the long run. By building in accessibility from the start, you'll avoid costly retrofits and reduce the risk of accessibility-related legal issues. Plus, you'll be expanding your potential audience, making your digital products and services available to the millions of people with disabilities.
But perhaps most importantly, you'll be positioning your business as a leader in digital inclusion. In today's world, where consumers increasingly value ethical and inclusive brands, this can give you a significant competitive edge. This doesn't just teach accessibility - it helps you build a more innovative, inclusive, and successful business.

2. How long does a typical training session last?
This will vary on the context of your need. It could be a quick run-through of what accessibility is about that can last an hour, or it could be a detailed, bespoke and actionable workshop that runs for a full day. But we're flexible. We can adapt to half-day sessions or even a series of shorter modules spread over time. It's all about what works best for your team.
3. Can your training be customised for our specific industry or products?
We love tailoring our training to your unique needs. Where possible, we'll use examples from your industry and even your own digital products to make the training super relevant and immediately applicable.
4. Do we need any prior accessibility knowledge?
Not at all! We cater to all levels of experience. Whether you're total beginners or have some accessibility know-how, we'll make sure everyone learns something valuable.
5. Will your cover legal compliance requirements for digital accessibility?
We'll cover the legal basics though it's important to note that we're not lawyers nor are we legal experts. But we'll also show you how going beyond mere compliance can give your business a real competitive edge.
6. How hands-on is the training? What kinds of exercises can we expect?
Get ready to roll up your sleeves! You'll try out assistive technologies, audit real websites for accessibility issues, and even compete in accessibility 'fix-it' challenges. It's learning by doing, and it's fun!
7. Can training be delivered remotely, or does it need to be in-person?
We're flexible! We offer both in-person and remote options. Our remote sessions are just as practical and engaging as our in-person ones, but the latter tends to be more engaging.
8. How many team members can participate in a session?
We typically work with groups of 10-20 for the best interactive experience, but we can accommodate larger groups too. Just let us know your needs.
9. Will we learn about different types of disabilities and assistive technologies?
Definitely! Understanding diverse user needs is key. You'll get hands-on experience with various assistive technologies and gain insights into different types of disabilities.
10. Does this cover both website and mobile app accessibility?
Our accessibility services tend to focus on cover websites and there is an intention of covering mobile app accessibility in the future. That said, we'll equip you with the skills to make all your digital touch-points accessible.
11. How do you stay up-to-date with the latest accessibility guidelines and best practices?
We're always learning too, as we constantly updates our curriculum based on the latest guidelines, emerging technologies, and real-world best practices.

You bet! We'll arm you with resources such as checklists, tool recommendations, further reading materials - to keep your accessibility journey going strong long after the training.

We bring accessibility to life! Instead of dry lectures, we offer interactive, engaging sessions that inspire real change. Plus, we tailor everything to your specific needs and challenges.
15. Can this help improve our existing digital products, or is it only for new developments?
Both! We'll show you how to bake accessibility into new projects AND how to improve existing products. It's never too late to make your digital world more inclusive, but the earlier the better.
16. Do you offer any follow-up support after the training ends?
Of course! We're here for you even after the training ends. We offer check-in calls, refresher sessions, and ongoing support to help you keep your accessibility momentum going.

We love seeing results! We use before-and-after assessments, gather participant feedback, and even offer follow-up basic audits to measure how the training has improved your digital accessibility.

Definitely! We're happy to work with you to make our training programme fit seamlessly into your existing training and development initiatives. It can also be used to help train up new staff to ensure that they are ready to go.
19. Does the training cover the business benefits of accessibility, or is it purely technical?
We cover both! While we dive deep into technical skills, we also highlight the fantastic business benefits of accessibility - from expanded market reach to improved brand reputation and beyond. But this will depend on who is attending the training and we will work together to make sure that everyone understands and can follow along rather than feel lost.
20. How soon after training can we expect to see improvements in our digital accessibility?
Many teams start making improvements right away! But remember, accessibility is a journey. You'll have the tools to start making immediate changes, and we'll help you plan for long-term, sustainable improvements too.
21. How can we ensure that we will work well together?
The best thing for you to do is to read the post about 'why're not a good fit for you' to ensure that we are both upfront about everything as early as possible to time wastage and expenses.
