“A fantastic course! Reading about accessibility can be quite dry, but this course made it so easy and interesting. So many great resources, and the use of personas and situational contexts really made the content easier to understand and appreciate.”

Alicia Hector

UX Writer

“I’ve taken a few accessibility courses, and yours has been the best by far. You provided the most well-organized, comprehensive content and were the only one to include relevant real-world examples that brought clarity to the WCAG guidelines.”

Eva Ingvarson Cerise

Content Designer

Inclusive design starts with accessible UX content

Accessibility isn’t just a best practice anymore — it’s a legal requirement. New regulations like the European Accessibility Act (coming into effect in 2025) and global standards like WCAG and WAI-ARIA are raising the bar.

Our UX accessibility certification for designers teaches you how to write accessible UX content, follow accessibility guidelines, identify potential risks, and collaborate across teams to create inclusive, legally compliant user experiences.
