"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."

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."
