This Accessibility Basics course is the prerequisite course for all accessibility self-paced courses and expert training sessions offered by the California Community Colleges (CCC) Accessibility Center. We strongly recommend that you complete this course before registering for any other courses or training sessions. All of our available courses and training sessions are designed to build off the concepts presented in this course. Any courses or training sessions you take after this course will not review the basics covered in this course.

While this course is designed with the new-to-accessibility learner in mind, more experienced accessibility professionals can still benefit from revisiting the foundations and refreshing their memory of the acronyms, guidelines, and recommendations for campus faculty and staff.
