    I really enjoyed this course. It provides a ton of useful pieces of information presented in comfortable chunks, making it quite easy to walk through in an individual pace. Rian's style of presentation is great. As a developer I feel inspired to continue and take the next steps into the area of accessibility testing and website development. Thanks again for the brilliant work.

    This is an excellent course! I've been focused on building accessible sites for many years, although I'm far from an accessibility "expert" and I learned a lot!! I especially appreciate the numerous links to external resources and tools. Rian's teaching style is great!
