Accessible social media

For whom?

The course is aimed at those who publish content in channels such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

To get the most out of the course, you should have basic prior knowledge of accessibility, either through our course Introduction to accessibility, or acquired in another way, for example through practical work.

About the course

Here you will learn why it is important to publish accessibly on social media and how to actually publish accessibly. We will go through the relevant parts of the WCAG guidelines that can be applied to social media and show practical examples.

Course content

During the course we will cover, among other things:

• Knowledge of accessible content
• Accessible content
• Alternative formats
• Accessible links
• Images and alternative descriptions of visual content
• Colours and contrasts

How is the course delivered?

The course consists of two parts; a self-paced course followed by a teacher-led live session. 

Self-paced course on-demand

With this self-paced course, you get a basic overview, but also the opportunity to focus on selected areas that you have a particular need for. You can access the course when it suits you. The course is divided into parts - take one or more at a time. You can also use the course as a knowledge base; the search function makes it easy to find what you need.

• Access to the course on-demand on Funka Academy's learning portal for 6 months.
• 13 parts, totalling 90 minutes of recorded films and reference material.

Add a live course session

Do you need more advanced skills? Perhaps you are in, or about to enter, a role that requires in-depth knowledge of accessibility? Or do you simply feel that you learn best and most from live training?

We offer a supplementary course session as an extension and continuation of the self-paced course. It focuses on developing and applying your knowledge with opportunities for discussion, practical exercises and interaction.

• Live expert-led course session, 4 hours including short breaks, 14:00 - 18:00, CET Central European Time 
• Funka's certified accessibility experts lead the sessions.

After the course

After completing the course, you will receive a digital training certificate showing that you have participated and the scope and content of the course.

You have continued access to the on-demand course material and knowledge bank for 6 months from the date of order.
