What Is AODA Compliance Training?

AODA compliance training is designed to help organizations understand accessibility responsibilities and apply inclusive practices in real workplace and digital environments. The most useful programs are practical, role-specific and connected to an organization's accessibility processes.

          Key principle: Training builds organizational capability. It should work alongside accessibility
          testing, assessment, remediation and ongoing governance rather than replace them.
