Workshop:
The tool is
not the test

This three-hour group training workshop follows on from The inaccessible web, and aims to give more in-depth and advanced knowledge of web accessibility.

Who’s it for?

Anyone working in digital should complete The inaccessible web and ‘The tool is not the test’ as a pair of workshops – no previous or technical knowledge is required.

When we say anyone, we mean everyone – leadership, decision makers, product owners, business analysts, designers, researchers, copywriters, developers, testers – you name it – everyone in the organisation should start on the same page.

What’s the format?

• All workshops are three hours each including a short break
• Ideally, a group size of 8-12 people so that –
  • Content can be tailored towards each group (eg. more technical for developers, more around requirements for product owners)
  • More targeted examples
  • More group discussion
• Workshops can be delivered remotely or onsite

What will we cover?

This workshop is valuable for a range of people both on the tools and in leadership, to give more in-depth and advanced knowledge of web accessibility (not just about testing). Here’s what’s included –
