About This Course
Price: $50.00 USD Members
Mobile Accessibility Training Course closes that gap, giving you a practical, entry level foundation for making mobile apps more accessible to everyone, including people with visual, hearing, mobility, speech, and cognitive disabilities.
This course is a starting point. You will learn:
- Mobile platform overview: Key features, constraints, and assistive technologies unique to mobile devices
- How to test with the same assistive technologies real users rely on
- What designers, developers, and testers need to do differently for small screens, touch interactions, and dynamic app flows
We cover the full lifecycle of mobile accessibility: design principles, development best practices, and testing strategies at an introductory level. You’ll also get a clear overview of global legal requirements and how your organization can begin growing its accessibility maturity over time.
Whether you’re new to accessibility or a web specialist looking to add mobile basics to your skills, this course gives you role based, practical knowledge you can apply right away without assuming prior mobile accessibility experience.
