Corporate Accessibility Statement

At app, our mission is simple: to create vibrant and enriching learning experiences designed for real-life impact. We work towards a future where everyone can realize the life they imagine through learning. With this, we strive for educational experiences that are engaging and functionally accessible to all users.

Our path to achieving this commitment entails integrating accessibility into workflows, upskilling and reskilling our staff through training, and improving content and product accessibility over time by following the latest version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Recognizing that accessibility is a constantly evolving landscape, app created a Global Accessibility Policy Framework to guide our accessibility strategy as technology and user needs change. The Policy Framework allows each app business unit to create and implement policies and processes that align with their specific customers, geographies, and regulatory environments.

Our commitment to removing potential barriers for learners with disabilities is woven into the fabric of our learning materials, development processes, innovation efforts, employee culture, and partnerships. We test and retest the capabilities of our products against the highest accessibility standards, working to meet the WCAG 2.2 AA standards and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in the US, along with the EN 301 549 standards in the EU which are the technical standards applicable to the European Accessibility Act.

We work with internal and external teams to test our products and websites for accessibility and follow processes to address any gaps found in compliance. We are happy to share VPAT results for our platforms and content on request.

Ensuring all learners succeed

Layout

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. Users can change the style sheets in their browsers to make viewing easier for their individual requirements. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

Colors and Contrast

As an aid to readability we have tried to ensure a good level of contrast between text and background colours. You may also browse the site using a 'High contrast Theme' or the 'Standard Theme'. This option is always available from the footer.

On certain browsers you can override our design and use your own preferred colour scheme. Instructions on how to change background and font colors for common web browsers appear below; for other setups you will need to consult your browser's help pages.

European Accessibility Act (EAA)
