A clear and easily digestable course. Highly recommend for those either new to or looking to refresh their understanding of accessibility.
There are a couple of interviews near the start of the course with people who experience the web differently - namely those with visual or hearing impairments. I found these particularly grounding, and they really make the impact accessibility on the web resonate.
This course also encourages a very hands on approach with the tools those who have disabilities use day to day, such as screen readers, and helps showcase how even the most popular of websites can be a challenge to navigate. It is something taken for granted.

This web accessiblity course is a good starting point for the newbies in this topic. The course is well structured and covers all the major topics in this area. However, I wish this course to be more up to date with the tools that are avaliable on the market for accessiblity. It was very valuable to see the interviews with users with impariments and their user experience which was very eye-openning. It would be great, if a 30 minute consultation time with the accessiblity expert was avaliable as a bonus in a scheduled call for those who take a course in particular month.

"Web Accessibility, the Basics" is a clear and well-structured introduction to accessibility principles. It effectively explains the importance of inclusive design and provides solid examples of best practices like keyboard navigation, headings, and color contrast. The course is beginner-friendly and engaging, though adding more hands-on exercises or developer-level content would make it even stronger. Overall, a great foundation for anyone starting their accessibility journey.

Great course!
The content is well-structured and presented in a way that helps you understand the importance of accessibility as part of everyday life, not just something that applies to the web. It also shows how accessible digital experiences benefit everyone.
I really appreciated the featured interviews, along with the participants who shared personal insights into how accessibility, or the lack of it, impacts their daily lives.
Being clear on this foundation is important for understanding and evaluating how accessible the things we build online really are. It’s a reminder that we should build for people, not for a test score.

A really good course for Beginners to understand accessibility in a wholistic sense in a summarized version. As someone who has worked as an accessibility tester in the past, this course has given me basic solid foundation on concepts like tools, ALT-txt, ARIA, Tabindex, SPA, HTML5, WCAG and few other concepts. It helped me to visualize and think about accessibility as not just a compliance requirement but something that can improve user experience for everyone. Lastly, with this knowledge I know I am not just limited to using tools, Assistive technology and keyboard but can think about Accessibly from an Analyst point of view and not just limited to a tester. Even the external links has immense wealth of information (which we won't be able to comprehend everything) but even just skimming through that information has broaden my understanding of accessibility. This course has helped me to apply accessibility in general to applications and websites and not just do the testing. I thank Rian Rietveld for this valuable beginner's basic course.

This is a thoughtfully designed and well-structured course packed with relevant, insightful content. It provides a solid foundation for understanding key issues, tools, and solutions across different roles—whether you're a designer, developer, or project manager. The material not only offers theoretical knowledge but also encourages practical application. I like seeing different business use cases and accessibility tools for developing, checking and testing.

The course gives a great overview and the context of basic issues, tools and solutions. It also gives nice organisational perspective and empowers diverse roles and teams (project managers, designers, developers etc) - it gives the sense that you can start a change from multiple sides, but together is of course better.

I think this course is very good as general introduction to a11y and something that almost anyone in a company could take, since it is not oriented specifically to any certain role. It has many good points, I would definitely recommend this course!

Very complete overview of all aspects of Accessibility; from the why to the how, so you can explain, test & fix/improve the accessibility of your website.

Web accessibility should be consider these days a must topic in web development, at the same level of responsive design (to say the least), nobody ask "would you like your web also to be responsive?", this course give you the basics to understand the topic and why it's important (if the doubts), from here you are going to have what's necessary to keep going in the subject and become an expert.

Rowan Pierce gave 4 out of 5 stars
This is a very informative and enjoyable course; I've learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone who wants an overview of the different aspects of web accessibility.
I'm giving it four stars rather than five because I would have found it much easier if the video and text materials had contained the same information, rather than sometimes being slightly different. I either had to separately read the text and watch the video to pick up on a few small differences (spending extra time in the process), or play the video while reading the text and also making notes (lots of multitasking!).
I also would have liked to know more about the considerations that go into planning, structuring and carrying out an accessibility review.

This course provided invaluable insights into the critical importance of accessibility. It is an essential component of any successful product development process and should be a core competency for all involved.
After mastering the basics of web accessibility, I delved deeper into the subject through advanced courses. I have successfully applied these learnings to ongoing projects and am eager to incorporate accessibility standards into a new project I am initiating.
