Organisations are increasingly using AI-assisted coding tools, automated testing platforms, design assistants and agent-based development workflows to accelerate product delivery. However, speed can come at a cost if accessibility is not considered throughout the process. Our AI Tooling and Accessibility Development Masterclass helps technology leaders, engineering teams and accessibility practitioners understand how AI tools and pipelines can support accessibility, where it creates risk, and how to build effective human oversight into the development process to minimise that risk.

AI is rapidly changing how products are designed, developed, tested and maintained. Many AI tools struggle with accessibility best practice, rely on imperfect training data or introduce accessibility risks that teams may not spot until much later in the development lifecycle.

Drawing on Hassell Inclusion’s expertise in accessibility governance, product development and emerging AI practices, we’ll help you build a more sustainable approach to assuring inclusive design while benefitting from AI innovation.

The objective is not to slow teams down. It is to ensure that faster delivery still results in accessible, usable and compliant products.

Trainer-led Courses

  • Trainer-Led

    Many organisations know accessibility is important. The challenge is making it happen consistently. Accessibility often falls between teams, gets considered too late, or relies on individuals rather than process. Our Accessibility in Software Development Life Cycle Governance Workshops help you embed accessibility into the way product developments is planned, governed, delivered and maintained.

  • Decorative image Trainer-Led

    Our interactive course enables QA testers to gain a solid foundation in how to test sites on Desktop and Mobile for accessibility issues.  It would also benefit Product Owners, Business Analysts etc. to reliably test the accessibility of their products.

  • Trainer-Led

    Enables Product Managers, Project Managers and Business Analysts to understand how to play their role in embedding accessibility efficiently throughout the software development lifecycle for sites and apps using ISO 30071-1’s activities. Uses case studies of how real projects have got into difficulty in delivering accessibility to explore how to get it right in requirements analysis, test strategy, sprint and launch planning.
