DeAnne Martocci, director of the college’s Center for Access and Assistive Technology, recently passed the International Association of Accessibility Professional’s certification exam to become a Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies.
Martocci joins a “select group of 1,984 CPACCs around the world,” according to the IAAP. “Your hard work, study and perseverance helped you achieve a significant goal — recognition of your skills and knowledge as an accessibility professional.”
The Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) credential is IAAP’s foundational certification, representing broad, cross-disciplinary conceptual knowledge about 1) disabilities, 2) accessibility and universal design, and 3) accessibility-related standards, laws, and management strategies. Relevant domains for the CPACC credential include the web and other digital technologies, architecture and the built environment, consumer and industrial design, transportation systems, and any domain in which thoughtful design, policy, and management can improve disability access. The CPACC exam is a computer-based exam with 100 multiple choice questions to be completed in two hours unless additional time is requested as an accommodation.
The International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) is a not-for-profit membership-based organization for individuals and organizations that are focused on accessibility or are in the process of building their accessibility skills and strategies. The objective is to help accessibility professionals develop and advance their careers and to support organizations integrate accessibility into their services, products and infrastructure.
The IAAP’s mission is to define, promote, improve, and diversify the accessibility profession globally through certification, education, and networking in order to enable the creation of accessible products, content, services, and environments. The IAAP is a division of the Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs.
