From Legislative Compliance to Your Team’s Everyday Practice
The accessibility of a website, e-shop or application does not depend solely on a final automated check, but on the people who design, develop, write content for and manage the digital product on a daily basis.
Our team designs and delivers specialised digital accessibility seminars and WCAG training for businesses, organisations, developers, designers, content teams and digital product teams. Our programmes combine practical and theoretical knowledge, WCAG 2.2, assistive technologies, an experiential approach and hands-on technical implementation, tailored to the actual needs, roles and digital environment of each organisation.
Experience Based on Real-World Projects
We have designed and coordinated more than 380 custom-made training & consulting programmes for businesses, organisations and municipalities, training over 22,500 employers and employees on disability, accessibility and inclusion.
At the same time, our team has extensive experience in accessibility audits, assessments and technical digital accessibility consultancy for websites, e-shops and digital services delivered by organisations and businesses, including efood, OASA, EYDAP and the Municipality of Athens, among other public- and private-sector organisations.
This experience is directly incorporated into our training programmes. A representative case study is our collaboration with Nespresso Greece, where an initial foundational accessibility training programme was followed by an advanced, two-day hands-on technical training programme using the company’s own website.
Digital Accessibility Is Now Also a Compliance Requirement
The European Accessibility Act – Directive (EU) 2019/882 was transposed into Greek legislation through Law 4994/2022, with the relevant accessibility requirements for products and services applying from 28 June 2025. Its scope includes, among others, e-commerce services, consumer banking services, electronic communications, certain digital transport services, e-books and services providing access to audiovisual media. For public-sector organisations, the digital accessibility framework established under Law 4727/2020 also applies. The relevant legislation provides for accessibility requirements and penalties in cases of non-compliance, depending on the applicable scope.
Training does not replace a full accessibility audit or legal assessment. It does, however, help teams embed accessibility into their everyday design, development and management processes.
Two Levels of Training
1. Digital Accessibility & WCAG Foundations
Designed for management, compliance, marketing, content and e-commerce teams, as well as professionals who need a comprehensive understanding of digital accessibility without necessarily having a technical background.
The training covers, indicatively:
- disability, inclusion and digital accessibility,
- different ways of interacting with digital environments,
- screen readers and assistive technologies,
- WCAG 2.2 and the POUR principles,
- accessible content and alternative text,
- headings, links, forms, contrast and keyboard accessibility.
No technical knowledge is required.
2. Technical Web Accessibility Training
Designed for developers, UX/UI designers, web agencies, product teams and technical leads.
The training explores in greater depth:
- semantic HTML and page structure,
- keyboard accessibility and focus management,
- accessible forms and validation,
- links, buttons and interactive components,
- ARIA and accessible naming,
- dynamic content, live regions and custom components,
- manual WCAG testing,
- screen reader testing and real-world interface behaviour.
Hands-on Workshop Using Your Own Website or Application
The training can use your company’s own website, e-shop or application as a case study.
During the workshop, we follow a clear, practical process:
- Identify real accessibility issues.
- Test their behaviour using a keyboard, screen reader and manual testing.
- Explain who they affect and why they constitute an accessibility barrier.
- Demonstrate how they can be addressed at design, content or technical implementation level.
For each finding, we examine not only the relevant WCAG criterion, but also its real-world impact on users and the recommended remediation approach.
The hands-on programme includes:
- training materials,
- a practical WCAG checklist,
- recommended testing tools and resources,
- guidance for developers, designers and content teams,
- a written summary of the key accessibility issues identified during the workshop, together with recommended next steps.
This ensures that the training leaves the team with specific findings and practical guidance relating directly to its own digital product.
What Your Team Will Gain
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- identify common accessibility barriers,
- understand how disabled people interact with websites and applications,
- understand and apply core WCAG 2.2 requirements,
- prevent accessibility issues from the design, development and content-creation stages,
- carry out basic manual accessibility testing,
- understand the use of screen readers and other assistive technologies,
- integrate accessibility into the team’s everyday processes.
