Train the Trainer:
Digital Accessibility Education That Sticks

Empower Your Team to Lead the Charge In Accessibility

BIT’s Train the Trainer (TTT) program goes beyond checklists and compliance – it’s about building confident, knowledgeable champions of digital accessibility from within your very own organization.

Delivered over an estimated 8 weeks, this program is flexible, hands-on, and tailored to the needs, roles, and tools of your team. This is how sustainable accessibility starts.
