Accessibility that
ships.
Max 15 students
Live critique on your audit work every week from an experienced accessibility practitioner — not a forum thread.
Live every week
Work through WCAG criteria, assistive technology testing, and real audit trade-offs in real time with your cohort on Zoom.
Legal duties covered
A full week on the European Accessibility Act, the UK Equality Act, and EN 301 549 — what they require, who is in scope, and how to audit for compliance.
Capstone audit project
Audit a real product, present prioritised findings, and leave with a portfolio piece that shows specialist accessibility competence.
Built for designers who want to include everyone.
- You have some experience in UX, UI, product design, or research
- You want to design WCAG-compliant, genuinely inclusive products
- Your team or clients face European Accessibility Act obligations
- You can commit 5 to 6 hours per week for 6 weeks
- You want live feedback from an accessibility practitioner, not pre-recorded video
- You are completely new to design (try the Beginner UX (AI) Design course first)
- You want a self-paced, no-commitment video library
- You are a developer looking for a coding accessibility course
- You need a legal compliance audit done for you (this teaches you to do it yourself)

6 weeks. 6 skills.
Tap any week to see what you will cover.
Week 1Foundations of Accessibility & Inclusive Design
Understand the disability landscape, the social model of disability, and why accessibility is a quality issue — not just a legal one. Build the inclusive design mindset that runs through all six weeks.
Week 2WCAG 2.2 in Practice (POUR Principles)
Work through the Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust criteria at levels A and AA. Map each guideline to real design decisions: heading structure, colour contrast, keyboard navigation, error messages, and more.
Week 3Designing for Assistive Technology & Screen Readers
Learn how screen readers, switch access, voice control, and magnification tools interact with digital interfaces. Test your own designs with NVDA and VoiceOver and understand what semantic HTML and ARIA roles mean in practice.
Week 4Accessible Visual & Interaction Design
Apply accessibility at every visual decision: colour contrast ratios, focus indicators, motion and animation, form design, error prevention, and touch target sizing. Build the component-level habits that prevent retrofitting later.
Week 5The European Accessibility Act & Legal Duties / Accessibility Auditing
Understand your legal obligations under the European Accessibility Act (EAA, deadline June 2025 for new products, June 2030 for existing), the UK Equality Act, and EN 301 549. Run a structured accessibility audit against a live product.
Week 6Embedding Accessibility in Your Process + Capstone Audit Project
Shift accessibility left: integrate it into briefs, design reviews, handoff, and QA. Audit a real product and present prioritised findings: your capstone portfolio piece.
Week 6 is your capstone audit on a real product. See real client projects we have delivered →

Before you enrol.
Is the course online or in-person?
The course is 100% live online. You join small live classes over Zoom on Wednesday evenings (6:00 to 8:30pm UK time) from anywhere in the UK or abroad; there is no in-person attendance and no commute. Every session is recorded, so you can catch up if you miss one.
Who is this course for?
Designers, researchers, and front-end-adjacent practitioners on digital products who want WCAG-compliant, inclusive design skills. Some design experience needed: no prior accessibility knowledge required.
Do I need design experience before joining?
Yes, some. Comfortable working with digital products or interfaces (UX, UI, product design, or research) is enough. No prior accessibility or WCAG knowledge needed. New to design? Start with our Beginner UX (AI) Design course first.
What is WCAG and why does it matter?
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for digital accessibility, currently at version 2.2. It defines four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust, plus three conformance levels (A, AA, AAA). Level AA is the legal benchmark in most jurisdictions. Cover WCAG 2.2 AA in detail during weeks 2 through 4.
What is the European Accessibility Act and does it affect me?
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires businesses selling digital products and services in the EU to meet WCAG 2.1 AA by June 2025 for new products and June 2030 for existing ones. If your employer or clients sell into any EU market, the EAA applies. Week 5 covers EAA requirements, the UK Equality Act, and how to audit for compliance.
Will this course help me meet legal requirements at work?
Yes. Structured around what designers and researchers can do to meet EAA and UK Equality Act obligations. Leave with an audit framework, a shift-left checklist, and a capstone audit as evidence of competence.
Is it live or self-paced?
Live. Sessions run Wednesday evenings, 6:00 to 8:30pm UK time. Cohort 1 starts 12 October 2026. Max 15 students per cohort so every participant gets feedback from the instructor each week.
What does it cost and is there a payment plan?
The course is GBP 1,500. Reserve your place with a GBP 99 deposit, refundable within 14 days of booking. The balance of GBP 1,401 is payable by invoice before the course starts. Interest-free payment plans available on request. Price-match guaranteed: find it cheaper at a comparable live school and we will match it.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. A Certificate in Accessibility for UX is awarded on completion. It does not expire.
Is there a scholarship?
Yes. 30% scholarship for designers from underrepresented groups. Apply on the scholarship page.
What is your refund policy?
The £99 deposit is refundable within 14 days of booking. Cancel after that but before the course starts and the deposit is forfeited, though any balance you have paid is refunded in full. Once the course has started no refund is available, except at our discretion in exceptional circumstances.
