Accessibility Statement for CareerSpark Interview Academy

CareerSpark Interview Academy is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online learning environment where everyone can access and benefit from our interview preparation resources. This accessibility statement outlines our efforts to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and opportunities. As such, we are dedicated to continually improving the accessibility of our website and online courses. Our commitment includes:

• Regularly reviewing and updating our website and course content to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.
• Providing alternative formats for content upon request, such as transcripts, captions, and audio descriptions.
• Training our staff on accessibility best practices to ensure they can create and maintain accessible content.
• Using assistive technologies to test our website and courses for accessibility issues.
• Soliciting feedback from users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement.

Measures Taken to Ensure Accessibility

CareerSpark Interview Academy has implemented several measures to ensure our website and online courses are accessible:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML tags to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate.
• Alternative Text: All images and non-text content have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the meaning and purpose of the content. For example, an image of a successful job interview has the alt text: "A smiling candidate shaking hands with the interviewer after a successful job interview at a tech company in Seattle."
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily adjust the text size using their browser settings without losing any content or functionality.
• Captions and Transcripts: All video and audio content includes captions and transcripts, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Form Labels: All form fields have clear and descriptive labels, making it easier for users to understand what information is required.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of interactive elements.
