Accessible documents ensure that everyone is able to access your content. It begins with an awareness of the diverse range of needs across your audience, and requires specific skills to plan and create content with accessibility in mind. Accessibility in electronic documents is a legal requirement for Australian Government Agencies - and many of the organisations which work with and for them. This course delivers the skills to meet your compliance obligations, and communication goals.
On successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
