My notes in are slowly growing while preparing for the exam using the preparation course.

While I assume that the little quizzes don't represent the questions in the exam, they give me somewhat of an indication where I'm at.

Pretty much all of them were easy, but once they're gonna ask me for statistic numbers, I might be screwed.

Currently studying for the exam and I found the part surprisingly interesting. This topic was also relevant in a workshop I gave, so here's a couple of law suits that are related:

I'm happy to expand this list if you know other interesting cases. 🤗

I decided (again) to prepare for the exam by the after I had some doubt of it's usefulness.

But after doing a non-technical workshop for newbies last week and believing that the will have some impact, I decided to go for it!

I'm using the @dequesystems prep course and read everything with 200% zoom. Unfortunately this makes paragraphs very long, so I'd like to share a I quickly created to shorten them:

What are your plans for 2024?

If think I want to do less client work and launch my own sites.

@matuzo Want to do the #deque courses for the #cpacc and #was exam, but don't know if I'm gonna take the actual exam. Along with that I want to blog about it and the plenty of topics I have in the pipeline.

Would be stoked to do more client work that is #accessibility related and do more talks at conferences.

Will do more gigs as a #LiveSound engineer, which will be awesome!

And really hoping you will add the example for missing document language at https://inaccessible.gallery/ 😁

@yatil "One of the greatest obstacles is probably the sheer number of well-trained accessibility professionals."

Who do you consider well-trained? Is it people with a #cpacc and #was certificate, or people with plenty of practical experience?

I consider myself a newcomer and I'm still not sure if those certificates would help me to find a more #a11y focussed job.

Talking to a bunch of recruiters this year it's very clear to me that German companies do not care about it at all. ☹️

Note to myself & anyone interested in getting the #WasCertificate by #IAAP:

Was Certification Exam Guide by @dequesystems: https://dequeuniversity.com/class/iaap-certification-quick-guide/was-guide

Although this is for #CPACC certificate, it's still interesting to hear Derek's journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01vcZMTJqU

Wanna get the certificate in 2024, let's see how I'll do 😅

Considering to do the #cpacc certification: Not only because my general #accessibility knowledge needs improvement but also because it might make it easier to find jobs (in Germany) with a focus on this topic?

Would be cool if anyone here could share their experience and if it was worth it. Read through a good portion of the body of knowledge for this one and it sounds super interesting!

Here’s what I’m talking about: https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/s/certified-professional
