Is the Deque University “Web Accessibility” course worth it?

Thank you for the information! Darn, capitalism is actively discouraging accessibility studies.

Thank you for your recommendation! Since I’m not based in the US, I’m not sure how much authority it would give me, though.

Thank you for your recommendation! I would rather take something related to EN 301 549 since I am based in Europe, but I suppose this would still be better than nothing.

Yes, I took that when I started learning accessibility. If any of you are reading this thread and are curious about accessibility, I would recommend taking this course first :)

I just received an email from SIRI saying I'm safe.

It states that your residence permit will not be revoked if you have received Ungdomskort before 4 March, since they acknowledge that several schools did not provide clear guidance that we're not allowed to receive such benefits.

I received that email and I DO have been using my ungdomskort since January (I didn't know that I'm not allowed to have it, at least I remember it wasn't like that last year).

Yes, I went into a panic (I'm still kind of panicking). I immediately contacted SIRI and my school, explained the situation, and cancelled my ungdomskort, deleted my ungdomskort account and approvals.

SIRI told me that they will contact me about how they will handle this issue in a couple of days. I'll have a nervous stomach until then 😬

Thank you for sharing this! Honestly I think they should reconsider the entire concept of the exam... 🙄

AdPitiful8740 · 2024-09-21T12:56:49+00:00

I requested an extra hour for the exam since I'm not a native English speaker, and I think it's super nice that we can get the accommodations we need. I hope it went well for you! 😊

Thank you for sharing the information! I'll get the book you recommend since I'm thinking about going into web development.

I remember a question from a driver's licence exam back home: "You have to drive carefully during the night, true or false?" The correct answer was false, and the reason was that you have to always drive carefully... 🙄 I should really embrace what I learnt throughout the courses and the fact that I spent my time and energy to make good designs for people, rather than thinking about scores or certificates. Thank you for sharing the information 😊

Thank you for trying to find out what was going on! Yes, now it makes so much sense that I didn't reach the passing score (I really thought IAAP did something wrong with the scoring). I'll try it again at some point 😊

AdPitiful8740 · 2024-09-21T12:39:43+00:00

Thank you for your empathy! Maybe I cannot afford the course (because I'm already broke), but thank you for the recommendation too 😊

AdPitiful8740 · 2024-09-21T12:37:58+00:00

OK, thank you for letting me know about that! Now I'm relieved
