Accessibility in Practice (WCAG 2.2) — 10-Day Weekend Workshop
Stop treating accessibility as a checklist. Learn to design, audit and fix to WCAG 2.2 — with real assistive-technology testing. A professionals-only cohort of 15, five weekends of hands-on studio work, and an artifact you leave with — not just notes.
Workshop at a glance
- Format: 10 days across 5 weekends (Sat & Sun) — live, hands-on studio sessions, never passive lectures
- Cohort: strictly 15 professionals — small enough that every person's work is critiqued every weekend
- Next start: upcoming Saturdays
- Fee: ₹15,000 · GST invoice for employer sponsorship · Scholarship Test discounts apply
- You leave with: a real, portfolio-grade artifact + a completion certificate with a verifiable ID
How the 10 days run
Weekend by weekend
Every weekend follows the studio rhythm: teach → build → critique. You work on a real project throughout — yours or a live brief — so learning compounds instead of evaporating.
Weekend 1 · Experience the barriers
Screen reader immersion, keyboard-only sessions and simulation labs — the empathy that survives is built here. Pick your audit target.
Weekend 2 · The standard, practically
WCAG 2.2 decoded into design decisions; contrast, focus and target-size labs; start the structured audit.
Weekend 3 · Audit sprint
Complete the audit with severity ratings and evidence; write findings developers can act on without a meeting.
Weekend 4 · Fix & pattern
Redesign the worst violations; accessible component patterns for forms, modals and navigation; token-level fixes.
Weekend 5 · Verify & present
Retest with assistive tech, measure the delta, and present the audit-to-fix story to the cohort and an accessibility lead.
What you'll learn
Skills you'll actually use on Monday
- WCAG 2.2 as a design tool, not a compliance chore
- Screen reader fundamentals: how your product actually sounds
- Contrast, focus, touch targets, motion and cognitive load
- Auditing method: severity, evidence, developer-ready tickets
- Accessible components: forms, modals, navigation, data
What you'll leave with
Artifacts, not just notes
- A full accessibility audit of a real product
- Redesigned fixes for the top violations
- An audit toolkit you can rerun anywhere
Who should attend
- Designers who ship to millions and want to include them
- Design system owners baking it in
- Teams facing procurement or legal requirements
Why only 15 seats
Small on purpose
Fifteen is the largest cohort where every participant's work can be critiqued live, every weekend, by the facilitator and peers. Bigger rooms turn workshops into webinars — and webinars don't change how you work.
Weekends only, because this is built for working professionals: no leave applications, no career pause — just ten deliberate days that compound.

Workshop FAQ
Straight answers
Is this technical? Do I need to code?
No code required — but you will learn to speak precisely enough that engineers respect the tickets.
Which assistive technologies do we use?
NVDA and mobile screen readers at minimum, keyboard-only and magnification throughout; a live user session where possible.
Does Indian law require this?
Public-sector and increasingly enterprise procurement expect WCAG conformance; beyond mandates, it is simply designing for everyone.
Will this make me an accessibility specialist?
It makes you the most accessibility-capable designer in most rooms — and shows you the path if you want the specialisation.
