Written specially for tourism businesses
Some businesses are daunted by the prospect of tackling access. Many think it will be expensive. It needn’t be. One NorthEast has developed this course to help businesses improve the experience for all visitors. From an elderly couple who struggle with steps to a single traveller who is hard of hearing. From a family juggling children and luggage to a teenager managing diabetes. In fact any visitor who might need a little extra help.
This course will help you
- recognise the opportunities accessibility offers your business
- improve your understanding of how you manage your visitors’ experience
- identify practical and low-cost ways you can improve your business
- provide better information to potential visitors
- write your Access Statement
- learn from other businesses in the region
Study at your own pace
The course is divided into sections. You study in your own time - as much or as little as you like in a session.
Profit through Access is interactive
There are video clips with comments from visitors and ideas from other businesses. We ask you questions to get you thinking. As you work through the course, you will be able to develop an Access Statement and an action plan for your business. When you have completed the course you will receive a certificate.
What you need
You can run Profit through Access on a standard dial-up connection (56K modem). However, for optimum speed and to watch videos, broadband is recommended. Most standard computers will run the course, but to see detailed technical specifications, click here.

The course is free for tourism businesses to use. You will simply need to register once and then you can return and log-in as many times as you (or your staff) like, in order to complete the course.
