Introduction to accessibility

For whom?

This course is aimed at those who know little - or nothing - about accessibility. No prior knowledge is required. Everyone is welcome.

It also serves as a starting point for more advanced and specialised courses.

About the course

Funka Academy's introductory course provides a solid foundation for starting an active work with digital accessibility in your organisation. We show clear examples of good and bad accessibility, go through statistics, talk about political decisions and explain the concepts.

In this course, you will learn what digital accessibility is, who is affected and how to navigate with different assistive devices. We go through statistics, briefly explain the law on digital accessibility and explain difficult concepts.

After this course, you will have knowledge and understanding of why it is so important to start working with accessibility.
