This video covers what accessibility training typically includes and how organizations use it to build internal knowledge around digital accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) conformance.
Training programs generally cover the foundations of WCAG, including the four principles of accessibility: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Participants learn how these principles apply to websites, web applications, and documents. Most training also addresses legal context, such as ADA Title II and Title III obligations and the European Accessibility Act.
Beyond the legal side, training covers the practical side of accessibility work. This includes how audits are conducted, what automated scans can and cannot detect (scans only flag approximately 25% of issues), and how remediation fits into an ongoing accessibility program. Screen reader testing and keyboard testing methods are often demonstrated so participants understand how people with disabilities interact with digital content.
Training formats vary. Some are self-paced courses, others are instructor-led sessions. Organizations choose based on team size, existing knowledge, and how quickly they need to build capacity. The goal is consistent internal understanding so accessibility decisions do not rely entirely on outside consultants.
