Good morning,

I was asked by someone how long it would take sighted people who are in the information technology field to get up to speed on using JAWS to surf websites and assess for accessibility.  They would need to audit the site and know how to fix bugs.  The person asking me would like for me to teach these students the basics of JAWS with this end goal in mind.  Knowing that information, what would be an estimated length of time for this class?  If this would be helpful, the class would have 3 to 5 students and would probably take place over Zoom or Teams.  Please feel free to respond off list if that would be preferable.

Thank you,
