InDesign Accessibility Course
This half-day course (online or face-to-face) focuses on using InDesign to create highly accessible PDFs. Such documents can be read by assistive technologies that aid people with disabilities including poor vision and limited mobility.
Creating accessible PDFs to WCAG 2.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) gives everyone, regardless of their abilities, access to the content in your documents. Australian government compliance now requires that all government website content, including PDFs, be accessible.
It is essential that students have at least 1 to 2 years experience with InDesign or have completed the 2 day Adobe InDesign Essentials course.
Our instructors are Adobe Certified, industry experienced and passionate about training! Our training highlights the features and updates in the latest version of the software - InDesign CC (Creative Cloud).
At City Desktop Training – an Adobe Authorised Training Centre – upon course completion participants receive a Certificate endorsed by Adobe.
