It's not just a portfolio exercise, there is genuine knowledge and practice being shared in the Specialist Certificate in Accessibility and Universal Design. You can feel where the money is going and I think that in the future, small scale certified courses such as these will help people in the employment market. I thought it was a really well facilitated course and I particularly liked the activities. Some courses are just content but this had real world activities that helped you put yourself out of your normal work environment and apply your knowledge to a new challenge.

Since completing the Specialist Certificate in Accessibility and Universal Design, I've become more attuned to the diverse needs of learners.
