ADA compliance isn't optional.
The DOJ made that clear.

The 2024 DOJ Final Rule codified WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the federal standard. Over 4,600 lawsuits were filed in 2023 alone. Your clients need protection — and they need it from someone who actually understands the law, the code, and the process.

Federal & State Law Backing

This program is built on the actual DOJ Final Rule, ADA Title III requirements, and Massachusetts state enforcement precedents — not generic awareness training.

Hands-On Code Compliance

You'll learn WCAG 2.1 Level AA from a developer's perspective: alt text decision frameworks, ARIA roles, keyboard nav, heading structures, form accessibility, and contrast ratios.

Real Sales & Business Skills

Certification doesn't stop at code. You'll master the discovery call framework, objection handling, pricing presentation, and client lifecycle management.

Six modules. Zero fluff.

Every module is designed to build competency that translates directly to revenue. You'll graduate with the legal knowledge, technical ability, and sales framework to run a compliance practice.

01

ADA Law & the Legal Landscape

The ADA, DOJ Final Rule, state enforcement (Massachusetts focus), lawsuit statistics, and financial penalties your clients face for non-compliance.
