Press Release Body = Userfocus, the UK’s leading usability training company, now offers a free place to non-profit organizations on all of its training courses. Userfocus normally charges between £425 and £675 per delegate but people who work for a non-profit can attend free of charge.
The training courses vary in length from one to two days and include:
• Web Usability training (http://www.userfocus.co.uk/training/webusability.html) • Usability testing training (http://www.userfocus.co.uk/training/usabilitytest.html) • Web accessibility training (http://www.userfocus.co.uk/training/webaccessibility.html) • Usability expert review training (http://www.userfocus.co.uk/training/quickfire.html)
“Userfocus is delighted to offer a pro bono place on our training courses,” said David Travis, Director of Userfocus ltd. “Non-profits need to improve the usability and accessibility of their web sites just like other organizations. But they often struggle to fund the training costs of their developers and designers. Now their staff can attend the same high quality usability training courses as large corporates.”
Several non-profit organizations have already taken advantage of the free training, including Cancer Research, Mind and RNID. Feedback on the training has been universally positive. For example, after attending Userfocus’s Web Accessibility training, Gerry Loughran from Christian Aid said, “The course opened my eyes to the importance of accessibility and the tools available to achieve it.” Similarly, James Elliot, from the World Society for the Protection of Animals described the Web Usability training as, “The best course I have ever attended.”
Userfocus run their usability training courses every month at the Usability Training Centre in Central London.
