Accessibility

Skilltype is committed to digital accessibility for everyone. We build and test the Skilltype platform against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, targeting Level AA, and we treat accessibility as an ongoing engineering practice rather than a one-time audit.

Conformance status

Our target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Automated conformance testing is in place and runs continuously, and a manual audit against the criteria that require human judgment is in progress. We do not claim complete conformance across every success criterion today; we actively test, measure, and remediate toward it, and we publish our progress in a formal report (below).

How we test

  • Automated testing on every change. We run axe-core across the application on every code change and in a scheduled audit, checking against WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 Level AA rules.
  • Keyboard and zoom/reflow. Automated checks exercise keyboard operability, focus order and visibility, skip-to-content, and content reflow at high zoom.
  • Screen readers. We test with a virtual screen reader in our automated suite, alongside review with real assistive technology.
  • Manual review. A structured manual protocol covers the success criteria automation cannot verify, feeding a formal conformance report.
  • Accessibility linting. Accessibility rules run in our code linter, catching common issues before they ship.

Accessibility features

Alongside semantic HTML, the platform includes:

  • A skip-to-content link and a logical, keyboard-navigable focus order.
  • Visible focus indicators on interactive controls.
  • Distinct, descriptive page titles and an ordered heading structure.
  • Descriptive names for links, buttons, and other controls, and text alternatives for non-text content.
  • ARIA roles, labels, and live regions where they improve assistive-technology support.
  • Support for zoom and content reflow.

Conformance report (VPAT)

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT, WCAG 2.2 Level AA, ITI VPAT 2.5 format) is available on request for procurement and compliance review. It records the criteria we have verified and those still under review.
