Our WCAG Course is on-demand training for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) that you can access and start learning from right now.
Course Content and Structure
The WCAG Course includes individual lessons for all 50 WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria as well as the 6 new success criteria in WCAG 2.2 AA.
Each lesson contains simple, easy to understand explanations of what is required for each success criterion. The video and text explanations make it easy for anyone to learn what is required – even non-technical beginners who know nothing about accessibility.
Each lesson links to the official W3C documentation and, where applicable, we’ve even curated helpful resources in case your team wants to explore the success criterion further.
Application of Principles
While the principles outlined in these requirements are designed for web content (websites, web pages, web apps, videos, images, etc.), they are also applicable to all digital assets, including mobile apps, software, and documents.
Compliance with Digital Accessibility Laws
Given that WCAG conformance is mandated by almost all digital accessibility laws, the WCAG Course can help your team in working towards compliance with many different laws and regulations including:
- ADA Title II (new web accessibility rule)
- Section 504 (new HHS rule)
- Section 508
- AODA
- HB21-1110
- European Accessibility Act (EAA)
Supplemental Materials
To help your team put WCAG into practice, the course includes:
- Accessibility workflows for designers, developers, and content editors.
- A master WCAG checklist in Excel spreadsheet format.
- WCAG in Chunks, which groups similar success criteria together.
These downloads give your organization the reminders and easy reference points they need when coding, designing, or creating content.
Course Design
This highly organized, self-paced course features modules that divide success criteria for WCAG 2.0 AA, 2.1 AA, and 2.2 AA, allowing your team to progress from foundational accessibility to newer success criteria.
We have designed this course to be as efficient and effective as possible, enabling your team to learn accessibility in less time and retain more of the information.

Course Logic
The ADA Compliance Course is premised upon the idea that if you remediate all of the most commonly claimed issues from the most active plaintiffs’ law firms, you will significantly reduce your risk of being sued.
We have researched hundreds of lawsuits filed by the most active plaintiffs’ law firms and distilled our findings and recommendations into this course.
Supplemental Materials
This course includes:

The ADA Compliance Course is an excellent complement to the WCAG course and by going through the course, you will understand how to apply many of the most technically complex WCAG success criteria to improve your website’s accessibility.
Which leads to another beautiful aspect of this course. As you implement the lessons and resolve issues on your website one-by-one, you will incrementally reduce your risk of being sued.
