Course Description

This course is divided into eleven modules and a final examination and provides a Certificate of Proficiency in Web Accessibility from CATEA upon completion. Each module discusses a specific facet of the accessibility problem and ends with a short test covering the material just learned. Modules are intended to be sequential, and must be completed in order. Progress to further sections of the course is restricted until the test at the end of the current module is successfully completed.

Once registered, students will have access to the course material for a period of 60 days. A Certificate of Proficiency in Web Accessibility is provided to each student who successfully completes the course in that time.

Course Agenda

While there is no instructor, the participant can go back and review any previous module whenever they wish. Alternatively, they may contact a site administrator with more specific questions via email.
