GAWDS Launches Accessibility Training Course
An outstanding comprehensive self-study training course on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 covering Priority 1 and 2 (A and AA) web accessibility checkpoints is now available as a training resource on the Guild of Accessible Web Designers (GAWDS) website. This exclusive — and free — course offers articles, techniques, tutorials, and more, but the course’s introduction page explains it better…
The aim of this course is to introduce you to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Priority 1 and Priority 2 checkpoints.
Articles, techniques and tutorials are provided for each checkpoint. A hands-on assignment is set at the end of each section.
On completion of this course you should have an awareness of all Priority 1 and 2 checkpoints, and be able to apply techniques to ensure a web site passes WCAG ‘A’ and ‘AA’. — Jim Byrne, GAWDS founder
The course was developed by Jim Byrne and was previously part of his accessible web design training package. It sounds like an excellent resources to us. Good job, Jim.
