training fail
I asked work for some training on new software we're rolling out. They send me a web link and a login. I click the link, sign in, and lo and behold, all the training is a bunch of videos. Presented by people with various European accents. There are no subtitles / captions available.
This renders the trainings inaccessible, as I am HoH.
(Fortunately I can understand enough that the PowerPoint slides are useful, but still annoying in the extreme.)

[I am not hard of hearing. I am European. I do have immense difficulty processing audiovisual input in the form of videos. This would screw me over too.]

I hate when anything related to a potential job doesn't take into consideration deaf/HoH employees, mostly because that makes it highly unlikely I'll even apply, since I'm legally deaf. :( :( >:(

I'm sorry, you sent me the wrong link
Thank you for this, but but I can't see the link for the accessible training pages?
An interesting site, although of course I can't use videos, I'd like the hard copy version please.
(Of course, these are based on my years as a UK civil servant - how to do sarcastic while appearing to be polite. Direct isn't encouraged!)
