This course teaches how to create a strong online accessibility compliance program using the online Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). You'll learn how to conduct audits with industry-leading tools like Lighthouse and Axe, prioritize and resolve accessibility concerns, and create compliance roadmaps that correspond with corporate objectives. Real-world case studies from global companies such as the BBC, Apple, and Gov.uk will help you grasp tactics that combine automation, usability, and compliance.
This course is designed for professionals involved in the creation, management, and oversight of digital content and websites. It’s ideal for web developers, designers, UX/UI professionals, compliance officers, legal teams, content creators, and digital marketers. Business and project managers responsible for digital initiatives will also benefit from understanding how to integrate accessibility best practices into their workflows.
To get the most out of this course, learners should have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and general web development. Prior exposure to accessibility principles or an introductory web accessibility course is helpful but not required. The course is structured to provide practical knowledge and tools, even for those newer to the subject.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to assess digital content for WCAG compliance using accessible tools and checklists, identify common accessibility issues, and develop practical solutions to address them. They will also be equipped to advise stakeholders on integrating sustainable accessibility practices into ongoing digital projects.
In this course, you’ll explore the principles and real-world applications of web accessibility through the lens of WCAG compliance. Using hands-on tools like Lighthouse and Axe, you’ll learn to audit websites, identify and resolve accessibility barriers, and build sustainable compliance roadmaps. You’ll also examine case studies from leading organizations and develop strategies to ensure digital inclusion, legal alignment, and long-term value for all users.

Offers a decent overview and introduces helpful automation tools.
I also liked, that it's not based on multiple choice tests, but real submissions and reviewing other submissions.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
