Accessibility Test Workshop
Description
The Accessibility Test Workshop is designed to help organisations measure and evaluate their readiness to meet the European Accessibility Act which will actively be enforced from June 2025 onwards.
Although the Act itself was first adopted in 2019, the 2025 deadline is when the related laws will come into effect.
The act requires, among other accessibility guidelines, apps and websites from private companies and governmental institutes to adhere to the principles of accessibility in alignment with WCAG standards. Those are captured under the abbreviation “POUR”: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
Our 1-day workshop provides insight into the guidelines and requirements while taking you through the definitions of accessibility, teaching you how setup the governance to audit your own environment, how best to apply the appropriate non-functional testing approach and let you experience how tooling can support your readiness check.
