Screen Reader Training

Practical training in JAWS, NVDA, SuperNova, Narrator and VoiceOver — informed by founder Aj Ahmed's daily screen-reader use and formal trainer certifications.

Built around everyday screen-reader use

Founder Aj Ahmed is blind, has relied on screen-reading technology every working day for more than thirty years, and holds formal 2024 certifications in JAWS and SuperNova. Our sessions focus on practical keyboard and gesture workflows for reading documents, managing email, navigating websites and working with your organisation's applications.

Each software package is taught in its own dedicated session (our standard booking is a three-hour half-day per package, and shorter sessions for an individual package are available on request), delivered remotely across the UK or on site by arrangement, with two weeks of follow-up support included with every training package.
