Digital Accessibility Testing & WCAG Compliance: A Complete Guide to Inclusive Design and Testing Day2

Digital Accessibility Testing & WCAG Compliance Masterclass – Testing, Tools & ACR Reporting – Live Training

(Learn WCAG 2.0–2.2, accessibility testing tools, screen readers, and ACR reporting to achieve ADA, Section 508, and global accessibility compliance)

 

This course provides an in-depth understanding of digital accessibility and inclusive design principles. You will explore the WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 standards that define how to make digital content accessible to everyone. The training covers key accessibility laws such as ADA, Section 508, and EN 301 549 to ensure global compliance. You’ll gain practical experience with tools like Axe, WAVE, and Lighthouse to identify and fix accessibility issues. The course also introduces assistive technologies, including screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. Through real-world simulations, you’ll learn how users with visual, auditory, and motor disabilities interact with digital content. In addition, you’ll understand how to prepare Accessibility Compliance Reports (ACR/VPAT) effectively. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to test, audit, and deliver fully accessible digital experiences.
