As Bill and Ted discovered in their excellent adventure, it can be easier to learn through hijinks, trials and practice than through reading. How can we learn from their experience to get better at web accessibility?

Considering accessibility is essential for our work, but it has a high barrier to entry and reading guides and specifications only gets you so far. Through my experience training a front-end development team I've discovered that learning accessibility testing is an easy and effective way of mastering it.

With the guidance of Bill and Ted we'll explore the ups and downs I went through teaching accessibility, and why focusing on testing works so well. You'll go away with not only an answer to how on earth these are related, but also a great strategy to benchmark your accessibility work and build up your accessibility skills in a way that will last.
