Digital Accessibility Tester
Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Audit findings logA new council form audited against WCAG 2.2 AA before launch: each finding recorded against its success criterion and level, a checked pass recorded too, and a clear decision on what blocks launch.
- Manual test reportWhat keyboard and screen reader testing found on a page an automated scanner passed: a keyboard trap, meaningless link text and a map with no text alternative, each against its criterion, framed so the developer learns from it.
- Supplier remediation requestA request to the supplier of a council portal: each failure against its criterion and the contract's WCAG 2.2 AA requirement, a request for test evidence and a dated fix plan, and what the council will publish until it is fixed.
- Accessibility statement updateA council accessibility statement brought up to date from a week's testing: an honest compliance status, the content that is not accessible and why, exemptions stated, how to get help, and the enforcement route.

Description
Every CertClue course follows the same seven-part shape: fundamentals, the role translated out of job-posting language, a real working day, the job's recurring rhythms, a multi-day simulation, the portfolio you build along the way, and a handoff into your next move. Here is what that looks like for digital accessibility tester.

Builds accessibility into how a team designs and builds, reviews work before it ships, and holds suppliers to account.
