Course free digital accessibility for people with disabilities and professionals from social organisations!
Duration: from 11 February to 12 June 2025 (74 Hours) Timetable: from 17:00 to 19:00h (Tuesdays and Thursdays) Format: On line.
At VASS FoundationWe are committed to creating an inclusive digital ecosystem that guarantees equal access to technology for all people, regardless of their age, educational level or disability status. For this reason, we offer this specialised course in digital accessibility, designed to train people with disabilities and professionals from social organisations in the design and development of accessible digital products.
Justification
An accessible website, platform or application is one that can be used by anyone, without exception. Accessibility is not only an ethical commitment, but also a legal requirement in the European Union, according to directives such as the European Accessibility Act, which will be binding from 2025.
In addition to promoting inclusion and equity, accessible digital products help to remove technological barriers, facilitating access to information, products and services for all people.
Course objectives:
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the need, usefulness and responsibility associated with the design and development of accessible digital products.
- Acquire theoretical and practical knowledge to evaluate and apply accessibility in different technologies.
- Promote a culture of inclusive development that complies with current regulations and responds to today's social responsibility.
Addressed to:
This course is especially aimed at:
- Professionals with at least one year's experience in web and PPP design or development.
- Engineering students, training cycles or degrees that already have basic development and/or design competences.

- User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) designers.
- Commercial Teams, Project Managers and Team Leaders who wish to be trained in the fundamentals of digital accessibility and its application in projects.

Duration:
The programme would consist of an estimated total of 74 hourswhich at a rate of 4 hours per week would be equivalent to a programme of 3 months duration.
