Accessibility Statement for Zenith Academy

Zenith Academy is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards. Our commitment is rooted in the belief that our online learning platform should be accessible to individuals of all abilities, regardless of technology or environment.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Zenith Academy strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines makes web content more accessible to a wide range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity and combinations of these.

To ensure this, we have implemented various strategies, including:

• Providing alternative text for all images and non-text content.
• Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
• Using semantic HTML to structure content, making it easier for screen readers to navigate.
• Providing keyboard navigation and focus indicators.
• Ensuring that all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard.
• Writing clear and simple content that is easy to understand.
• Designing forms that are accessible to screen reader users.
• Regularly testing our website for accessibility using automated tools and manual testing.
