Why WCAG Testing Training
Most teams are familiar with WCAG guidelines, but struggle when it comes to testing them in real projects.
Understanding what a success criterion says is one thing — validating it across components, user flows, and edge cases is where the real challenge lies.
This training is designed to bridge that gap.
We focus on helping your team move beyond theory and build a structured, repeatable approach to accessibility testing that works in real-world environments.
