# Coassemble is WCAG 2.2 Level AA Conformant

## Overview

Coassemble has been awarded a **Statement of Conformance for WCAG 2.2 Level AA**, independently verified by digital accessibility specialists **Modality Co**. This means the Coassemble learner experience met **all 56 success criteria across 13 guidelines** at both **Level A** and **Level AA**.

If your platform embeds or uses the **Coassemble learner experience**, this conformance extends to the **course-taking experience within your platform**, supporting alignment with the current international standard for web accessibility.

The assessment covers the **Classic learner experience**. Courses built in the course builder use a rebuilt learner view, which is covered separately below.

## What this means for your platform

Learners using your platform, including people with disability, can expect a high standard of accessibility when completing training through the embedded Coassemble learner experience.

Key outcomes include:

* **Screen reader support:** Learners using assistive technologies such as **JAWS** or **NVDA** can navigate and complete courses effectively.
* **Keyboard-only navigation:** Full support for learners who rely on a keyboard rather than a mouse.
* **Text and display adaptability:** Content remains usable for learners who resize text in their browser or use **Windows High Contrast Mode**.

You may reference the Statement of Conformance in:

* customer-facing accessibility documentation,
* procurement responses (e.g., accessibility requirements), and
* internal compliance reporting.

## Access the Statement of Conformance

The Statement of Conformance is available via the Coassemble Trust Centre:

* https://trust.coassemble.com/

## How conformance was assessed

Modality Co conducted the assessment in accordance with the **Web Content Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM 1.0)**, the standard methodology used to support a valid WCAG conformance claim.

Testing was completed across multiple rounds and included:

* **Chromium-based web browsers**
* **JAWS and NVDA** screen readers
* **Browser text resizing**
* **Windows High Contrast Mode**

The evaluation was signed off by:

* **Matthew Putland**, Digital Accessibility Specialist (Modality Co)
* **Rosie Putland**, Principal Accessibility Specialist (Modality Co)

## Scope: what this conformance does and does not cover

When communicating accessibility claims to customers, it's important to understand what is and is not included in the conformance statement.

### Covered

* The **technical learner experience** assessed by Modality Co, which is the Classic learner experience that delivers courses.

### Not covered

* The **content inside courses**.
* The **course builder learner experience**.

Course content accessibility remains the responsibility of the **course creator**. Your customers should ensure the courses they build follow accessible content practices, including:

* adding **alt text** for meaningful images,
* using a clear **heading structure**, and
* maintaining sufficient **colour contrast**.

To help customers take full advantage of Coassemble's accessible foundation, share your accessible course creation guidance with them.

## Where the course builder stands

The course builder is in public beta, and its rebuilt learner view has **not been independently verified**. Coassemble's own accessibility testing shows that the course builder learner experience meets WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

The distinction matters in a procurement context, so use these two claims precisely:

* **For the Classic learner experience**, cite the Statement of Conformance. It's an independently verified claim you can point a customer to on the Trust Centre.
* **For courses built in the course builder**, describe Coassemble's own accessibility testing. Don't cite the Statement of Conformance for these, because the assessment didn't cover them.

If a customer's accessibility requirement specifically depends on independent third-party verification, the Statement of Conformance applies to the Classic learner experience only. Email vip@coassemble.com if you need help wording a response.

One current gap worth knowing: hotspot is not available as a block in the course builder. Hotspot screens in existing Classic courses are unaffected and keep working as they do today.

## Ongoing accessibility commitment

WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance is a significant milestone, but accessibility is an ongoing effort. Coassemble continues testing and improving the learner experience to maintain conformance over time.
