Web Accessibility Essentials course now available
30 November 2011
You wouldn't stand at the door of your business and turn every sixth person away, so why do it online?
In the UK alone, more than 10 million people are registered disabled.* For many of these people, the digital world can be just as difficult and frustrating to navigate as the physical world, because so many websites and services don't follow basic accessibility principles.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission, AbilityNet, and BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT are proud to launch the Web Accessibility Essentials course - the only product of its kind in the UK.
The Web Accessibility Essentials course offers guidance on best practice across all areas of digital content creation. Not only can accessible content give your brand the edge, both commercially and ethically, but compliance with the Equality Act 2010 is a legal requirement.
This 80-minute, online course equips individuals and businesses with a fundamental understanding of digital inclusion, the legal issues surrounding it, and the skills to make simple, effective changes that can open new and profitable markets for your business.
