Six rigorous modules. A proctored exam. One industry-recognized credential that positions your agency as the authority in website accessibility compliance.
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.
This program is built on the actual DOJ Final Rule, ADA Title III requirements, and Massachusetts state enforcement precedents — not generic awareness training.
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.
Certification doesn't stop at code. You'll master the discovery call framework, objection handling, pricing presentation, and client lifecycle management.
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.
The ADA, DOJ Final Rule, state enforcement (Massachusetts focus), lawsuit statistics, and financial penalties your clients face for non-compliance.
The POUR framework, conformance levels, the most commonly violated success criteria, and how assistive technologies depend on proper implementation.
Alt text mastery, ARIA roles and landmarks, keyboard accessibility, heading hierarchy, form accessibility, color contrast, and platform-specific fixes for Wix, WordPress, and Squarespace.
The two-phase audit approach (automated + manual), scanning tools, severity frameworks, compliance scoring, and how to generate professional audit reports that close deals.
Risk-mitigation positioning, the discovery call framework, objection handling scripts, pricing presentation strategy, and using audit reports as closing tools.
The four-phase remediation process, Active Shield monthly monitoring delivery, client communication templates, renewal conversations, and upselling opportunities.
This isn't a participation badge. It's a validated, proctored credential that signals real expertise to clients and partners.
After completing all six modules, you'll take a comprehensive proctored exam covering ADA law, WCAG technical standards, code remediation, audit methodology, and sales process.
