# Is Coassemble accessible?

Yes. The learner experience is independently certified WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformant, and Coassemble gives you the tools to make your course content accessible too.

Yes. Coassemble's learner-facing experience holds a Statement of Conformance for **WCAG 2.2 Level AA**, independently verified by digital accessibility specialists Modality Co. Accessibility is a partnership: the platform is conformant, and the choices you make as a creator (alt text, captions, contrast) determine how accessible your course content is.

## What WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance means

The experience of completing a course meets all 56 success criteria across 13 guidelines at Levels A and AA, the level referenced by most accessibility legislation and procurement requirements worldwide. In practice:

- Screen reader users (for example JAWS or NVDA) can navigate and complete courses.
- Keyboard-only navigation is fully supported.
- Content stays accessible when learners resize text or use Windows High Contrast Mode.

If your organisation has accessibility or procurement requirements, you can reference Coassemble's Statement of Conformance to show it meets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The statement itself is a tagged, screen-reader-friendly PDF.

## Building accessible courses

Conformance covers the platform; the content within your course is up to you. A few things make a big difference:

### Add alt text to images

1. Select an image and click **Edit image**.
2. Select **Alt** to open the text field.
3. Enter a clear, concise description and **Save**.

You can also set default alt text on an image in your library, so it carries over wherever you reuse it. Keep alt text meaningful and under about 125 characters, and leave it off purely decorative images.

### Caption your video

Add accurate captions or subtitles to videos, and consider transcripts for added accessibility.

### Mind colour and contrast

All Coassemble theme presets meet contrast requirements. If you override colours, aim for a ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, and don't rely on colour alone to convey meaning.

### Structure content clearly

Use clear headings, lists, and sections so screen readers can process content in a logical order.

### Choose accessible screens

All screen types work with screen readers. The Hotspot screen places labels over an image, which some screen readers handle less well, so consider your audience before using it. For Embed screens, check the accessibility of the third-party tool you're embedding.

## Frequently asked questions
