Description

This programme trains you as a web designer with a specialisation in digital accessibility. Since June 2025, the Dutch Accessibility Requirements Implementation Act has applied in the Netherlands, with WCAG 2.1 level AA as the technical standard. You will learn to design in Figma, apply UX and UI principles, create responsive layouts and build the visual structure of effective web pages. You will also learn accessible design, including contrast, focus order, text alternatives, forms and navigation. You will test your own designs and document the choices you make. You will work on your own project and conclude with an exam and portfolio presentation.
