Legs & Regs: A No-Nonsense Guide to Usability Standards and Legislation
For designers and managers who need to get to grips with UK legislation, “Legs & Regs: a no-nonsense guide to usability standards and legislation” is a 1-day seminar that provides concise and authoritative coverage of key standards and legislation in usability and accessibility. Unlike competitor courses, a nominated BSI UK expert, responsible for writing and contributing to British, European and International usability standards, trains this course.
After attending this training course, you will have a practical understanding of British standards and UK legislation relevant to usability and accessibility. This seminar is led by Dr. David Travis who has over 20 years experience in the field of user centred design.
