Are you looking for on-line or in person training? Free or paid? There are many companies like Deque, SSB Bart, WebAIM, etc that will come to you and provide training for a fee. They also have online paid courses.

Free resources online include, among many others:

The Teach Access Tutorial<https://teachaccess.github.io/tutorial/> provides basic accessibility training for developers and designers.

Google has created a free advanced on-line accessibility course<https://www.udacity.com/course/web-accessibility--ud891>. In this course you’ll get hands-on experience making web applications accessible.
Start Building Accessible Web Applications (Videos)<https://egghead.io/courses/start-building-accessible-web-applications-today>. Subjects include “Accessible Icon Buttons”, “Accessible Button Events”, “Building Forms with Accessibility in Mind”, “Headings and semantic structure for accessible web pages”, and “Focus management using CSS, HTML”.
The Mozilla Developer Network has a series of accessibility guides<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Accessibility> covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ARIA and mobile development.

The Teach Access tutorial provides a good overview with exercises. It also includes design guidance, which is an important and often overlooked part of accessibility.

Hi all,
We are looking for Web accessibility training for staff and supervisor. I see Deque University has one- "Web Accessibility Fundamentals, HTML Techniques, ARIA/JavaScript, Testing, & Screen Readers (2 days)” at https://dequeuniversity.com/curriculum/instructor-led<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__dequeuniversity.com_curriculum_instructor-2Dled&d=DwMFaQ&c=mRWFL96tuqj9V0Jjj4h40ddo0XsmttALwKjAEOCyUjY&r=NS7sMOEYVINwm3e4REboGQG-NnI841o0NWYqtIwWJ4U&m=tvfZhPuwpSJRHeF1vrs5zMcDRNum27tYFOs81g4geqM&s=6guwoUuClB4lGqudeEzWHlLTdsSvFdkOIb52rFEw-yw&e=>

Are there others out there that are good for both developers and QA testers? The Deque one looks good because it starts at the beginning, then gets more technical.

Thanks!

Carolyn
