Online training
We offer a unique set of online courses to become aware of the potential offered by the creation of accessible publications, websites and reading solutions
TOWARDS THE EUROPEAN ACCESSIBILITY ACT
As the European Accessibility Act is coming into force for publishing products and services in June 2025, all publishers are called to develop an accessibility roadmap and acquire the skills to produce, develop and maintain accessible contents.
Since the beginning of 2020 we have been delivering live online training services to publishing players, building a new successful best practice, thus transforming the current moving restrictions into new learning opportunities.
We offer our long-term expertise through a new set of online training courses encompassing the key aspects of digital accessibility, on the basis of the Born accessible principle.
Our training activities are in line with the most innovative international trends and guidelines and are based on the activities done within the most important international working groups active in the definition of the standards and specifications of accessibility of digital contents.
