Digital Accessibility Strategy Course [starts in January 2025]
December 12, 2024
With the Accessibility Act (Decree-Law No. 82/2022) compliance deadline of June 28, 2025, fast approaching, digital team leaders in the financial, transport, telecommunications, audiovisual services, and e-commerce industries must ensure their products and systems are accessible, or risk facing heavy fines and penalties.
The new Digital Accessibility Strategy course aims to equip participants with the essential skills to understand the digital accessibility landscape, identify key issues, develop an internal strategy to address them, and ultimately embed accessibility as a core, ongoing concern across the organisation.
This in-person course has a duration of 18 hours, divided into 3 modules of 6 hours each, blending theory and practice. Each module includes practical exercises, and participants will be assessed through a final evaluation test.
The course will take place on January 10, 17, and 24, 2025 (Fridays), from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at Xperienz, Parque das Nações, Lisbon.
The cost is €595 per participant (VAT exempt), with a 10% discount for simultaneous registration of two or more participants from the same organisation. The training is also eligible for the Cheque-Formação + Digital program by IEFP.
Fill out the form or contact us at info@xrd.pt for more information, to receive the full program in PDF, or to register.
