The course for me was not an opportunity to learn the guidelines word-for-word but more importantly to learn about the people and technologies that benefit from the guidelines. It's sometimes quite easy to forget that developing with accessibility in mind is far more than simply validating your markup and adding some alternate descriptions.

An extremely interactive and hands-on course, delegates will be led through a number of ‘how-to’ exercises on a purpose built website.
