Accessibility

Posted: December 19th 2018 — Last updated: January 23rd 2026

Measures to support accessibility

itslearning takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our platform:

  • We have a dedicated accessibility team tasked with improving accessibility in our platform
  • We include accessibility considerations throughout our internal policies
  • We provide continuous accessibility training for our staff
  • We assign clear accessibility targets and responsibilities

 

Status

itslearning is working towards compliance with WCAG 2.2 level AA. Any exceptions are listed below.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) detail accessibility requirements for product designers and developers. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Although our goal is WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some Level AAA Success Criteria. For example, our UI components are created to support both AA and AAA color contrast standards.

 

How we test for accessibility

We mainly assess accessibility through thorough internal testing, where we review a representative set of itslearning pages and features. Our work follows the guidelines from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative. When we find issues, we log them and fix them as quickly as possible.

We also use external experts on a regular basis to test our platform and confirm our internal findings.

This accessibility statement is updated whenever we make changes or improvements that affect our overall results, so it always reflects the current status.

The results below are based on an external accessibility audit carried out by Digitaal Toegankelijk in October 2025.
