Accessibility

Our commitment

We are committed to ensuring that Researcher Academy is usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. Researcher Academy is designed to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. It currently partially conforms to this standard, and we are working to resolve the remaining issues.

Conformance summary

Researcher Academy was tested against WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA in May 2026. Of the 50 criteria tested, 28 are supported, 19 are partially supported, 1 is not supported (1.2.5 Audio Description, prerecorded) and 2 are not applicable.

Known gaps include missing audio description for course videos, missing text alternatives for some images, keyboard and focus indicator issues, and some content provided by third parties. Full details are in the conformance report below.
