Which course is the best to gain official certification for Accessibility?
who’s doing the certification?
I recommend looking at IAAP. They have various certifications. I (until recently, since it expired) was CPACC certified. That’s a great one to get (and gives broad accessibility knowledge). Or for more developer-oriented accessibility, they have the WAS (Web accessibility specialist)
Just pointing you in the right direction here.

For official accessibility certification, consider these options:
- Deque University’s CPWA Program: Comprehensive and recognized.
- IAAP Certification: Offers CPACC and WAS certifications.
- WAI Training: Provides strong foundational knowledge.
- University Programs: Offers specialized courses and workshops.

Check out the body of knowledge.
- Web Accessibility Specialist (WAS): https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/s/wascertification#Prepare%20for%20the%20WAS%20Exam
Free courses web a11y courses are available via W3C (edx.org), Microsoft Learn, Web.dev and Google (e.g. via udacity). Some offer also a certification, but not something as official as the IAAP certifications.
