For Engineering Teams

Technical Accessibility Training for Developers.

Move beyond basic compliance checklists. Equip your engineering team with the deep technical skills to write semantic, accessible code that works for every user — without slowing down your release cycle.

Why Shift Left on Accessibility

Stop Fixing Accessibility Bugs. Start Preventing Them.

96% of the web fails basic accessibility standards. Usually, this isn't because developers don't care — it's because they haven't been trained on the "how." Fixing these issues after QA (or worse, after an audit) increases technical debt, delays product launches, and frustrates your best engineers.

We empower your developers to catch 80% of accessibility bugs while they code, not weeks later. We move beyond the "what" of WCAG 2.2 and dive deep into the "how" of accessible architecture, DOM manipulation, and robust component design.

What We Cover

Practical Engineering Skills, Not Just Theory.

Every workshop and session is tailored to your team's needs. Here's a sample of the topics we can dig into together.

How Browsers & Assistive Tech Communicate

Understanding the relationship between the DOM and the Accessibility Tree.

Understanding how Screen Readers (NVDA, VoiceOver) parse your code.

Why "div soup" breaks navigation and how to use Semantic HTML to fix it.

Forms, Barriers & Dynamic Content

Accessible form validation and error recovery strategies.

Handling dynamic updates with Live Regions.

Ensuring widgets (date pickers, sliders) work for everyone.

ARIA: The Good, The Bad, and The Necessary

The First Rule of ARIA (and when to break it).

Understanding role, state, and property.

Common anti-patterns: How to avoid breaking accessible HTML with "helpful" ARIA.

Testing Strategies & CI/CD Integration

Manual Testing: How to use NVDA, VoiceOver, and keyboard-only testing.

Automated Testing: Integrating tools like axe-core and Pa11y into your CI/CD pipelines to block inaccessible PRs.

DevTools: Debug the accessibility tree.

Keyboard Navigation & Focus Architecture

Building keyboard-operable interfaces

Managing focus in Single Page Applications (SPAs) and route changes.

Creating accessible modals, slide-outs, and "skip to content" links.

Framework-Specific Best Practices

Best practices for component-based architectures

Handling state management and accessibility side-effects.

Flexible Delivery

Training That Fits Your Sprint Cycle.

Forget generic, pre-recorded modules that don't apply to your codebase. We offer flexible, live training formats designed to fit around your team's development.

Lunch & Learn Series

High-impact, 45-minute sessions on specific topics (e.g., "Quick Look at Accessible Forms"). Perfect for continuous learning without blocking a sprint.

Deep-Dive Workshops (Half/Full Day)

Immersive sessions with live coding exercises and "fix-it" reviews using your own repo. Your team leaves with working code, not just notes.

"Office Hours" & Pair Programming

Shoulder-to-shoulder (or screen-to-screen) guidance. We pair with your devs to solve complex accessibility challenges on live tickets as they arise.

Remote Live Webinars

Remote-first sessions optimised for distributed teams. Interactive Q&A, live polls, and screen sharing — never passive watching.

Who It's For

Tailored Content for Every Technical Role.

Accessibility isn't just a frontend job. We tailor content to match what each role actually needs to know to ship compliant products — no filler, no overlap.

Front-End Developers

Master semantic HTML, robust ARIA patterns, and keyboard interaction. Learn the code that actually breaks barriers for users.

Full-Stack Engineers

Understand how backend data structures, API design, and server-side rendering impact the final accessible output.

QA Engineers

Go beyond automated scan results. Learn to test with assistive technologies (screen readers, magnifiers) and write robust accessibility test cases.

DevOps

Integrate accessibility checks into your CI/CD pipeline so issues get caught before they're merged. Define "Done" with accessibility in mind.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before Booking.

Here are the answers to the most common questions Engineering Leads ask us about curriculum, logistics, and outcomes.

Free resources tend to explain the "what" of WCAG — we focus on the "how." Our workshops are hands-on, tailored to your codebase, and designed to build practical muscle memory. Your developers leave knowing how to fix real issues in their own components, not just recite success criteria.

None. We tailor the depth based on your team's starting point. That said, if your team has already covered the basics, we can skip the fundamentals and focus on advanced patterns, testing workflows, or specific problem areas you're facing.

Whether you're working in React, Vue, Angular, or something else entirely, we adapt our examples and exercises to match. We can also work directly with your component library or design system if that's useful.

Absolutely. Most of our workshops are delivered remotely and are fully interactive — screen sharing, live coding, Q&A throughout. We can offer in-person sessions if you'd prefer that for your team.

Yes. We run advanced sessions that go deeper on topics like complex ARIA patterns, accessible SPAs, or building an accessibility testing strategy. We're also happy to provide ongoing advisory support if you want expertise on tap rather than a one-off session.

Trusted by Organisations That Take Accessibility Seriously.

"The audit report was clear, thorough, and actually useful. Not just a list of failures, but practical guidance we could act on immediately. The walkthrough call was invaluable for our developers."

— Digital Lead, UK Charity

"Fast turnaround, plain English, and they clearly know their stuff. We went from no idea where we stood to full WCAG 2.2 AA compliance in under two months."

— Founder, Social Enterprise

Frequently Asked Questions

We typically ask for three weeks' notice, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines. Get in touch and we'll see what's possible.

We recommend groups of 6–15 for workshops so there's room for hands-on exercises and questions. For lunch-and-learn sessions or webinars, larger groups work fine.

It depends on the format and topic, but a half-day session might include a conceptual overview, live coding demos, a hands-on exercise using your own code, and time for Q&A. We'll share a proposed agenda before the session so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes. Every session includes a summary document with key takeaways and links to further reading. For longer engagements, we can also create internal documentation tailored to your team's workflow.

We can provide certificates of completion if that's useful for CPD or internal records, but we're not an accredited certification body. Our focus is on practical skills, not credentials.

Pricing depends on the format, length, and level of customisation. Get in touch with a rough idea of what you're after and we'll put together a proposal.
