Accessibility Training

Leaving no one behind online: WCAG, Section 508, ADA, AODA, Office, InDesign, PDF/UA, sensitivity

We love to teach what we know. In speeches, courses, and training material that we continuously improve so that you can continuously improve … so that you can inject universal design thinking into everything you create.

“Best webinar/training session I have participated in. David was fantastic, easy-going, passionate, friendly, and an expert.”

Impressions on David Berman e-Accessibility course at OCAD, 29 June 2015

“As an accessibility professional myself, I often seek out opportunities to stay current and refresh my own skills. On Nov 17, 2017, I had the pleasure of taking part on the eAccessibility workshop offered by David Berman Communications which provided me with great insightful tips on how to further influence leaders to understand the value of accessibility and inclusion in their business and organization. The workshop was well structured and paced, provided a great opportunity to interact with the trainer and left one with a useful resource that could be referenced moving forward. I would strongly recommend training offered by Berman Communications to individuals or organizations seeking to improve or deepen their understanding of accessibility.”
