Web Development
Web Accessibility with WCAG 2.2
Build and test sites everyone can use
A short classroom course for developers, designers and testers. It is organised around the four principles of W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 — perceivable, operable, understandable and robust — and the three conformance levels A, AA and AAA. Each principle is taught by finding and fixing real failures on a sample site. This course prepares for no exam.
