Digital accessibility training in Lyon

Not necessarily: 1 of the providers listed here say they work remotely or across France. An audit and training run over video without loss. Distance matters for on-site workshops or in-person user testing.

Paris rates typically run 20 to 30 % above the rest of the country, a gap remote work has narrowed.

A quick automated check, which takes minutes and costs nothing.

It does not replace the audit, but it avoids arriving empty-handed: the most common errors are fixed before the auditor arrives, and the quote then covers what genuinely needs a human eye. Includdy, which publishes this directory, offers that scan free for up to five pages.

A scan detects between 30 and 40 % of accessibility problems: images without an alternative, insufficient contrast, fields without a label, an undeclared language.

The rest is checked by hand, with a keyboard and a screen reader, and that is exactly what a provider brings. A useful tool therefore does more than list errors: it guides the manual checks that remain and proposes the fix to apply in the code, which shortens the remediation work after the audit.

The French digital agency DINUM puts a conformity audit between 2,000 and 5,000 € excluding tax for an ordinary site. The market runs from 800 € for a pre-diagnosis, which cannot support a conformity statement, to over 20,000 € for a multi-portal institutional site.

Price depends on the number of page templates to test rather than the number of pages: a blog of 500 articles built on three templates costs less to audit than a 40-page portal on ten different layouts.

Two to four days of testing for a simple brochure site, one to three weeks for a standard scope of about ten representative pages, several weeks for an institutional site. Scoping beforehand and the debrief afterwards add to that.

An official conformity rate as a percentage of criteria met, the list of failures ranked from blocking to minor, remediation guidance, and the accessibility statement to publish.

A report that gives a score without saying what to fix or how leaves the whole job to the teams.

No certification is legally required to audit in France: what counts is command of the method and application of the 106 criteria.

Four questions sort the field: how the representative sample is built, whether manual keyboard and screen reader testing is included, whether a retest after fixes is planned and at what price, and whether the provider also sells the remediation it will audit.

Usually not. The audit establishes the diagnosis; fixing code, components and content is a separate budget, in the order of 3,000 to 10,000 € for a mid-sized company site.

Some offer combined packages: the support days should then appear separately in the quote.

Yes, a French OPCO can cover part or all of a course, provided the organisation holds Qualiopi certification: 2 of the providers listed here do.

Regional schemes and France Num can cover part of a diagnosis.

Each profile is written from the pages the provider publishes, with a quoted extract and a link to the source page, then reviewed to remove claims that cannot be checked.

Nobody pays to be listed and the display order is not for sale.
