The training for developers

At the end of this interactive training course, you will know exactly how to deal with the WCAG guidelines so that your websites are truly accessible for everyone. As a frontend or backend developer, you know better than anyone how to write good code. But what impact does this code have on the accessibility of the websites you build?

Vattenfall
"Clear and straightforward, easy to follow through direct examples, and thanks to a number of made-to-measure examples, which were perfectly suited to practice, everything became quick and easy to understand."
Belastingdienst
"The training was well-constructed with interesting topics on accessibility. The trainer knew how to explain it in a good way."
Gemeente Rotterdam
‘It was very interesting, and on the other hand confronting, that the application my team is developing was briefly tested live by the trainer for digital accessibility. This made the theory and standards clear. There was also a degree of depth because we consulted the WCAG guidelines ourselves.’
DELTA Energie
"Until recently, I honestly thought our customer portals were quite user-friendly. Surely anyone can just zoom in a bit, or make such a screen brighter? Surely we do extensive testing on different devices, in various view modes and at a number of resolutions? That thought changed when I attended an introduction on digital accessibility last week, and only then did I see how much impact this topic has."

Knowledge of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
