Accessibility Beyond Alt Text: Making Digital Content Everyone Can Use

Enrol now

Most conversations about accessibility stop at alt text.

In reality, accessible design influences every part of your content, from colour choices and typography to layouts, captions, videos, and the way information is organised. This practical course is designed for marketers, designers, business owners, students, and content creators who want to create digital content that's easier for everyone to use.

Throughout the course, you'll learn how to identify common accessibility barriers, improve readability, reduce cognitive load, design for mobile users, create accessible social media graphics and videos, and build accessibility into your everyday workflow. You'll also complete practical audits, activities, and a final certification assessment to help you apply what you've learned to your own work.
