Accessibility Statement for Apex Academy

Apex Academy is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online learning experience that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and online courses, adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. These guidelines outline four main principles that ensure content is:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Conformance Status

The Apex Academy website and online learning platform are partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. This means that some parts of our content may not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to address these areas and improve overall accessibility.

We have implemented several features to enhance the accessibility of our website, including:

• Alternative Text: All images and non-text content have descriptive alternative text.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using a keyboard alone.
• Clear Structure and Headings: Content is organized using clear headings and subheadings to improve readability and navigation.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to improve readability for users with low vision.
• Resizable Text: Users can increase or decrease the text size using browser settings.
• Forms Accessibility: All form fields have clear labels and instructions, and are accessible to assistive technologies.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content includes captions and transcripts for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies.
