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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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!
Thank you Derek for making this CPACC Study Guide video and congratulations on passing it! Like most things associated with accessibility they not only benefit one group of users, they benefit all users. I am not studying to take the CPACC, but looking for an accessibility position and after not interviewing for over 5 years, I need a refresher on the core concepts and your video help me immensely. Like you, I am a visual learner, so if you know any WAS videos let me know, because looking at the BOK makes my head spin. ;-) Thank you again and good luck on the WAS test!
Thanks for checking out my study guide for the CPACC certification exam. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below. If you can, I'd also love to hear your rationale for studying for the CPACC and what you're hoping to achieve by taking it! 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 for this great comprehensive study guide for the CPACC exam. You mentioned also you expected to do another on WAS. I'm really looking forward to this one as well. Do you have any updates?
@@JTcreator Hey Jeremy - yes, I'm still working through that one! It's more loosely structured in terms of concepts and order compared to the CPACC, so want to make sure I'm getting the structure right before publishing the video.
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?
Hey, thank you for this great overview of the CPACC content. I want to mention that there is one mistake in your slides. The UDHR was created in 1948 not 1946. From what i could find 1946 is the year when the Commision on Human Rights (CHR) was established.
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?
Thank you - this is a great video! Very helpful. At 52:00:00 (roughly) you mention an article on UDL principles, but I can't see the link to it in the description - would you be able to provide the link please? Thanks again!
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 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!
Hi! Thanks for your time and work with this material. I'm interested in Deque CPACC course but I don't understand the price. The cost is 45 usd for the entire preparation or for each chapter? Thanks!
@@DesigningWithDerek Thanks, this was going to be my question. If it was a multiple choice exam or essay, practical/interactive. Multiple choice exams are too easy IMHO, but I'll take it - less studying needed.

Hope your CPACC exam went well! For the WAS, it would definitely be difficult for someone who doesn't know code to take it as it requires basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and Javascript, but I worked as an engineer in a previous life so it just required a few hours to brush up to get up to speed.
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

Hey, did you get WAS? Are you planning on making a video for it?
Very helpful overview, thank you! I am taking the CPACC for work but paying for it myself. Thank you for the great resources!
I am taking the CPACC exam later this week, and this video was a good revision of the materials
Hope it helped!
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?
Thanks for the tips and making this helpful video. Looking forward to your WAS video soon 😊
Excellent . I am doing iaap for my work .I really like your video which is very informative .
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.
Thank you Derek! Video helps a lot!
Going to take the exam in coming April.
How did you do?

Thank you for this Video Derik.
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?
I am looking just to learn more about it
Thank you - this is a great video! Very helpful. At 52:00:00 (roughly) you mention an article on UDL principles, but I can't see the link to it in the description - would you be able to provide the link please? Thanks again!
Just updated - sorry for the late reply and hope it helps!
Thank you so much!❤

Have you used any practice exam questions? 🤓 If yes, can you suggest your preferred site or book please. Thank you

That's for the entire course - you gain access to it for a year. You can review details here: dequeuniversity.com/curriculum/courses/iaap-cpacc
@@DesigningWithDerek thanks and congratulation on passing the exam, but but above all for work with accessibility =)
How many questions come in actual exam?
100 questions when I took it, each question being a multiple choice question with 4 answers.
