In 2009, the RNIB Web Access Team is changing the way it runs its open training courses. For the benefit of delegates who wish to attend our open courses, but are a significant distance from London, we are going to be running all of our training courses back to back during training weeks at various points throughout the year. This is in contrast to how we have run our training courses in the past, with single day events being interspersed throughout the year. Having training weeks should save travel and accommodation costs for delegates who wish to attend more than one course.
Our first training week of 2009 is running from Monday 16th to Thursday 19th February in London. We’ll be scheduling further training weeks throughout 2009 and also looking into the possibility of running some of these weeks at different venues other than London.
We also have a new open course for 2009 which we will be running for the first time this month. Our testing training course aims to guide you through web accessibility testing techniques, introducing the tools available to help you and providing tangible examples to take away.
The Schedule
Monday 16th February 2009
Demystifying Accessibility (Full Day): this course is designed to introduce website owners, commissioners, marketing or project managers and designers to the reasons for making websites accessible, including the principles and practices that make this possible.
Tuesday 17th February 2009
Transitioning from WCAG 1.0 to WCAG 2.0 (Half Day): a practical course to introduce the newly released guidelines for web accessibility, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0). It will enable and inform web managers, designers and developers who have been working with WCAG 1.0 to start using WCAG 2.0.
Hidden Barriers to Web Accessibility (Half Day): a technical course, designed to enable website designers, developers and programmers to identify and cure some common, but less obvious accessibility problems on their websites.
Note: These two courses run on the same day. If delegates attend both courses, lunch will be provided and the total cost reduced to £310.00 (a saving of £25.00).
Wednesday 18th February 2009
Accessibility - Beyond The Basics (Full Day): this is a technical course designed to enable website designers, developers and programmers, to make informed best practice choices with some of the more advanced techniques of accessible web design by looking at forms, structure, JavaScript and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
Thursday 19th February 2009
Testing Training Course (Full Day): This practical workshop guides you through web accessibility testing techniques, introducing tools and providing tangible examples. It focuses on testing carried out using dedicated testing tools, simple browser tests and some widely used assistive technology software, such as screen readers. The workshop illustrates both automated and manual testing and explains the differences between them.
