Webcredible's hands-on web usability training course lasts for one full day and usually has a maximum of 10 participants due to its interactive nature.

- Learn how to implement advanced usability enhancements to your website
- Receive practical, wide-ranging sets of usability guidelines and advice
- Discover how to make forms, search, navigation and error messages offer outstanding usability
- Find out how to practice user-centered design (UCD) methods, techniques and processes (including usability testing5 and card sorting6)
- Evaluate your site's usability
- Learn how to sell usability within your organisation
- Be shown how to continue your learning after the web usability training is finished

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Our web usability training follows one basic principle:

'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime'

Put simply, we don't want to make your website usable - we want you to make your website usable. The web usability training lasts for one full day, during which time you'll complete a series of exercises designed for you to discover the answers by yourself and then put into practice what you've learnt.

By the end of the day, you'll have created a usability action plan for your website and will have acquired a deep understanding of what makes a usable website. As a result of our hands-on web usability training, you'll have:

- A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
- Ownership of what you've learnt
- The ability to apply what you've learnt again and again in the future
