Overview
One of the key requirements of AODA is ensuring digital documents are accessible to everyone. This means any new PDF has to be designed in keeping with these standards. Additionally, all existing PDFs have to be updated to ensure digital accessibility. This can be time consuming and costly, especially when working with external vendors. That’s why this skillset is in-demand by employers to have in-house. By getting a microcredential in this area, you will not only increase your marketability, but you will also contribute towards a sustainable, digitally-accessible future.
What you'll learn
When you sign up for the Making PDFs Accessible course at Toronto Metropolitan University, we provide refresher resources and practice exercises that you can do on your own to prepare. Then, you will be asked to complete an assessment showing what you can do. Your work will be reviewed by an expert and you will receive a personalized result.
