Native mobile apps
In this training we will examine how to apply existing guidelines and make the most of the advantages that apps have to offer. As part of the training we will review the basics of what is required to create accessible interfaces. We also look at how to work with testing and what assistive tools can be used.
Apps differ from the web in several respects and in order to be able to follow standards and create an accessible interface, you must know how it functions and looks in practice.
Who’s it for?
This training is intended for anyone working with apps who is eager to learn more about accessibility concepts and be able to fulfil regulatory requirements within the public sector. Participants should have access to their own smartphone, iOS or Android, and preferably a peripheral keyboard.
We do also recommend that you go through our introductory training on digital accessibility prior to the training.
