FULL CPACC Study Guide 📚 | Pass the Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies Exam!
I recently passed the IAAP's (International Association of Accessibility Professional) CPACC (Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies) certification.
I walk through key resources and the most important information you need to know in order to pass this certification exam. A lot of this information is already covered in the resources provided by the IAAP, but I figured that according to the principles of Universal Design for Learning that I might as well produce this in another format to help those who are better auditory and visual learners.
I apologize in advance for any errors in the material and well as in the captions; I'm still learning and would appreciate any feedback and advice if you come across anything that doesn't seem accurate. Thank you to @danielangelov91 for calling out that the The Declaration of Human Rights is from 1948, and not 1946.

Thanks for uploading this. It was a good listen to while at the gym. I take the CPACC tomorrow morning. Quick question about WAS, as a designer…how difficult do you feel the WAS was for you to take? Isn’t it more geared towards devs?

Wanted to let you know that I found this video super helpful. I'm planning on taking the test and this provided a nice overview of what to expect. And as a visual learner, I'd much rather watch a 1.5 hr video about it than read so thanks so much!!! Have already passed it around to others on my team :)
Thanks! Definitely still refer to the resources on the site though. I tried to make it comprehensive but it's hard to cover all these topics comprehensively in a short 1.5 hour video.
Absolutely legendary study guide my friend, thank you for such a powerful resource for Accessibility Professionals! I am a full-time audio describer and arts accessibility specialist in Chicago, and I'm pursuing the CPACC in order to better serve my clients and the disability community at large. Your video is a great starting place on my journey. I'll be sure to report back after I take the test this fall!
Fantastic, super clear :)
Hi, I'm fresh out of high school and want to get into the UX/UI design field. I was thinking of getting a degree in marketing while also spending time learning design skills on my own through things like bootcamps and CZcams tutorials. I would also make some of my electives in some of the fields you mentioned. Does that make sense to do?
How many questions did you get about legislation? I struggle to remember dates, they all run together, and this part of the quiz worries me.
Derek, this is really well laid out and presented. I am a colorblind front-end web dev, so have always kept accessibility at the forefront of my work. I helped establish accessibility standards at my past couple of jobs. Like you, I am taking the CPACC because I wish to broaden my knowledge and help others I work with become more aware and work accessibility into their routine. Thank you for posting this super helpful resource!
I am looking just to learn more about it
As a junior designer this helped me so much! I have been struggling in my job search especially articulating in what values I brought in, especially without metrics, and this made me feel a but more confident!
great explanations! thanks. your channel really deserves more subs/views.
Great guide. Thanks for putting this together. I know it was a lot of work and I appreciate it a ton!
The declaration of human rights is 1948, not 1946.
Thanks for that correction! I've added it to the video description for future viewers.
It was commissioned in '46, adopted in '48
I'm an Architect based out of India by profession, I'm totally fed up with my job and I'd like to switch to UX, do you recommend master's program and can i be able to land a job in US as an entry level designer with good project's and a worthy portfolio and no experience in UX before.
Tell us the colleges that offer interaction design 😊

This is such a goos a compilation of useful material. Thank you for posting this.
Derek - you are a gifted speaker / presenter - in that your explanations are extremely simple, clear, and easy to understand. I look forward to other videos.
The mom part was cute lol
I wrote this past Monday. I had just over an hours drive to the test centre. I streamed this while on my way and found it actually calmed me as it was confirming I knew certain things. Additionally, you had mentioned one item I had not previously come across and something similar was on my exam. Thanks for that one! Feeling confident but hating the wait to know for sure!!
Thank you so much!❤

A new subscriber here Thanks a lot for the information
After months of hard work and dedication, I am proud to say that I have finally achieved IAAP CPACC (Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies) certification. It was a long and difficult journey, but I am so proud of my accomplishment. All of the late nights studying and the hard work that I put in has paid off, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have achieved this. My study approach was: Utilizing Deque University's full study material for CPACC certification. I purchased the material and used it extensively. I read through the whole Body of Knowledge (BoK), outline, and sample questions provided by Accessibility Association as well. I created approximately 400 flash cards and used them extensively. Finally I went through the linked materials available through the Deque course as well as the Body of Knowledge (BoK) to have a good understanding.
kudos!!
Can we get flashcards
@@shortreelsreview did you get those flashcard?
@@arahman7586 nope
Can you please share the flash cards and materials . I will enroll myself in Deque
you literally unravelled my mind, you've are the best man thank youuuuuu
thank so much
Thank you for this helpful video! Can I put the certification from the Deque University CPACC Certification on my LinkedIn? This may be a silly question but here it goes. Is the Deque University course legit? Are there any other courses on disability inclusion/accessibility you would recommend that are similar to the Deque course? (Must be able to put them on my LinkedIn). Thank you!
Thank you for putting this together. I had been really confused by the other explanations of Universal Design and differences between Equitable Use and Perceptible information, as in my mind, they are so connected - but this really helped me understand what I was missing. I'm sitting for my certification soon and using your video to reinforce my learning - love it! Thank you again!
Thanks! Great video, really informative. For a translator with a background in media accessibility and an interest in digital accessibility would you recommend taking these tests?
re: 45:34 "Accessibility improves SEO because search engines want content to be accessible" Do you have a source for this? My understanding is that the main reason accessibility practices improve SEO is that the same markup that allows AT to parse a webpage's structure and content also allows search engine crawlers to parse the page's structure and content.
Here's the article from WebAIM that I was referencing - webaim.org/blog/web-accessibility-and-seo/ I believe as of 2023, it's not a specific criteria that search engines are looking for, but rather, there's significant enough of an overlap that good accessibility practices might be baked into the underlying algorithm.
thank you for including abobe portfolio on your lust. I switched over from the cult of squarespace, where the access to tutorials is really only promoted within the squarespace designer circle. And Adobe portfolio was already included in my plan. Thank you again!
Thanks so much for putting this video together! I'm putting together a proposal to my employer on why this set of certifications is useful for my role; have you looked at the accessible document specialist certification? Now that this was a year ago how did it all pay off for you?
is animation major considered ?
can we get more its genious pls go on and make more videos?
Thanks for the tips and making this helpful video. Looking forward to your WAS video soon 😊
Thank You! This part amazing, i searched for the difference between groups, assets, frames, components, and this video made clear.
Please make a fallow up about WAS certification. I've found your video very informative. Thank you.
Does UX design roles pay well? Or does it depend on location and company ?
Am I able to get into UX/UI with a graphic design degree??? One of the classes required for the degree is a UX class , or are there any other classes I neeed?
College majors don't matter...
IAAP is for beginners or CPACc
I have always struggled with finding out what I would want to major in. Lately I have been extremely stressed because I am now a senior in high school and need to apply to colleges. I know I can apply "undecided" but it puts me at a big disadvantage. In order to avoid this, I have been doing a lot of research in different categories and ultimately came down to two things I would consider majoring in: computer science and design. However, most jobs related to these things did not seem to catch my attention until I came across the words "UX Designer". I had never heard of the term before but it made my spirits rise once I learned more about it. This video really helped me figure out the steps I need to take in order to become a UX Designer. I know it may seem like a rushed decision but it feels right to me. The good part about it is, I can major in computer science or design and if I change my mind I don't need to go down the UX/ UI Design career path. Thank you for explaining the different majors because most videos about UX Design do not mention this!
Hi do u mind if I ask what u choose to major in? I’m a senior too in the same position 😭😭
@@mychaelynn1516 ultimately I chose computer science but I’m still not 100% sure, it’s really difficult to choose
ME TOOOO i love it so much already.
I have a master degree in CS and currently switching to UI/UX. I'm very lucky to take this journey!
Why are you making the switch to UI/UX?
What made you switch
Tell us before I k*ll myself over this dilemma 🥲
Why do you think you're lucky? How did the switch go?
What are some specific Accessibility roles that this certification can give you leverage in?
Thank you Derek. I passed the CPACC, my score is 752/800, This video really helped me, and you also helped me when I connected with you in Link-in, I am Pio in Link-in From Philippines.
What do you think about Kent States UXD program?
Thanks for sharing is video. It's definitely a cost-benefit analysis...and if you continue working full-time, definitely would be a lot to juggle.
