Our commitment
CouchCertified is professional development for every educator — so it needs to work for every educator. We build and test our courses, dashboards, and enrollment flow to be usable with a keyboard, a screen reader, and at the text sizes and contrast people actually need.
Conformance target
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. We completed an internal audit and remediation pass across the learning platform (learn.couchcertified.com) and this marketing site on July 3, 2026, and we maintain that standard as the product changes. This is a self-assessment, not a third-party audit.
What that means in practice
- Keyboard: every interactive control — navigation, the course player, quizzes, team management — is operable without a mouse, with a clearly visible focus indicator.
- Screen readers: headings, landmarks, form labels, tables, and dynamic status messages (quiz results, confirmations, errors) are announced.
- Contrast: text and controls meet AA contrast minimums.
- Captions: course videos include captions.
- Sign-in: our passwordless email sign-in has no password to remember and no puzzle to solve.
Known limitations
We’re honest about where we’re still improving. Not all course videos have a dedicated audio-description track yet; captions and downloadable course materials currently serve as the alternative. This is on our roadmap.
