What it does
Deque University provides self-paced and instructor-led digital-accessibility training. Its reference resources include checklists, screen-reader guides, ARIA patterns and accessibility-rule explanations.
Choose a course package around the material you need to study. The individual packages provide one year of access:
| Package | Focus |
|---|---|
| IAAP CPACC Prep | Preparation for the accessibility foundations certification exam |
| Web Accessibility | Web implementation and preparation for CPACC and WAS exams |
| Full Access | Web, documents, mobile apps, customer service and accessibility-program topics |
After signing in, Full Access learners see built-in learning paths as separate tables on their member page. These organize courses into a recommended order for subjects such as design or document accessibility. Organization administrators can assign paths and filter progress reports by path. Custom paths currently require help from a Deque University representative.
Course subscriptions are paid; check enrollment for the current fee. People with disabilities can apply for a scholarship providing one year of free course access. The public reference resources are also available separately. Certification preparation is included in relevant packages, while the IAAP exams require separate registration.
