Web Accessibility Course
Compliance Taught by the Authority in Accessibility
Websites are business assets — and liabilities. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the global benchmark for accessibility, recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice, the International Organization for Standardization, and the United Nations. Failing to meet them doesn’t just exclude users. It puts your business at risk.
This course teaches you how to eliminate the most common violations driving lawsuits — and how to protect your brand with accessibility that holds up under scrutiny.
What You’ll Learn
Every module is built on WCAG and taught by Certified Accessibility Professionals (IAAP + DHS). You’ll gain practical, code-level skills to remove barriers:
- Images – Make visuals screen-reader friendly
- Audio & Video – Deliver accessible multimedia for all users
- Color – Fix contrast issues that lock out visually impaired visitors
- Interactive Components – Repair buttons, forms, and navigation barriers
- Content – Structure text for clarity and cognitive access
Keyboard Operability – Ensure full navigation without a mouse

- Exclusive access to private forums for ongoing support
Live help sessions with experts who answer your questions
