After barrier-free websites, mobile applications, software-supported internal processes and program interfaces have long been required by law in public administration, a similar obligation will be extended to the private sector across Europe from June 28, 2025. Electronic commerce, apps for passenger transportation services, communication and banking services, and ticket vending machines, for example, must then be accessible.
The training “Accessibility of Software” provides a comprehensive overview of the basic details of the legal requirement, HTML and ARIA examples illustrate the possibilities of implementation, and practical exercises directly consolidate what has been shown. Thus, the training provides the knowledge to master the legally required compliance with currently 50! requirements of the WCAG. In addition to the WCAG currently to be implemented, it also already covers those new WCAG requirements that are expected to be updated as a legal requirement in the near future, and it addresses further requirements of the BFSG and the European standard EN 301 549 that software must fulfill in order to be accessible. It also explains the relationship of accessibility with usability, UX and UI, and classifies accessibility in human-centered design.
