Slovak acts defining accessibility regulation are based on the European Accessibility Act and the EN 301 549 standard, which is strongly inspired by the WCAG guidelines developed by the W3C. A solid understanding of accessibility requirements and legislation is essential for developing and testing software that meets the needs of diverse users. Today, such knowledge is highly beneficial for anyone involved in software development.
The MITC Accessibility Audit is a practical certification that validates real-world digital accessibility skills. The exam is based on internationally recognized accessibility standards (WCAG) and is intended for testers, developers, UX/UI designers, digital accessibility specialists, and anyone involved in creating or evaluating digital interfaces.
