Training

Build skills. Shift mindsets. Advance accessibility.

Whether you’re just getting started or leveling up your accessibility practice, our live trainings deliver hands-on learning grounded in real-world experience. We’ll meet your team where they are—no jargon, no judgment, just practical guidance you can put into action right away.

Hands-on accessibility training, delivered live on your website.

Live Accessibility Building Sessions (LABS) are Pedal Point’s most practical training offering. Instead of learning accessibility concepts in the abstract, your team learns by working directly on your own website in guided, live workshops.

Each LABS session combines instruction, demonstration, and real-time accessibility testing, so teams see how accessibility decisions are made and applied in context. This approach builds confidence quickly and helps teams develop skills they can reuse long after the session ends.

LABS is especially effective for teams who manage their own websites and want training that leads directly to improvement, not just understanding.

What makes LABS different from traditional training?

  • Training happens on your actual website, not sample materials
  • Teams learn by observing real accessibility decisions as they’re made
  • Uses the same tools and workflows your team already relies on
  • Supports shared learning across content, design, and development roles
  • Reinforced through practice between sessions

How LABS fits within Training offerings

LABS can stand alone as targeted, hands-on training, or it can complement more structured accessibility training by grounding concepts in real-world application. Many teams use LABS as a practical entry point before investing in deeper training or ongoing accessibility support.
