Accessibility is a fundamental part of how we build for the web today. It’s about making sure that what we create actually works for everyone, regardless of how they navigate the digital world. It's a key element in modern website and application design. It involves monitoring users and their diverse needs. 

What is the MITC Accessibility certification?

• an accessibility coordinator needing to validate your hands-on skills.
• anyone in the dev cycle who believes the web should be open to all.
• and anyone involved in the software development process.
