DIY Accessibility Audits: How to Achieve and Maintain EAA Compliance

Companies all over Europe are scrambling to audit the accessibility of their websites and mobile apps, so they have a chance of fixing their WCAG compliance by the European Accessibility Act deadline of June 28th 2025.

One thing that often is overlooked, however, is what happens when you’ve reached WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Whether you have a website or app, in Europe or outside Europe, it’s essential to ensure that you maintain your accessibility compliance over its whole lifecycle, when new pages are added to a site, or new features are added in an app update. This means organisations need to go beyond doing a one-off accessibility audit, and do regular audits of their product’s accessibility.

You can either keep paying accessibility companies to do these audits every time you need them. Or learn how to do audits yourself in-house.

In this webinar our trainers Yacoob Woozeer and Usman Afzal introduce our Accessibility QA and Audit Training which helps you understand the who, what, why, where, when and how of accessibility auditing.
