    Accessibility Commitment for African Cultural Fashion Heritage Academy

    Last Updated: August 10, 2025

    At African Cultural Fashion Heritage Academy ("the Academy"), our mission is to provide accessible, inclusive, and culturally enriching learning experiences that celebrate and preserve African cultural fashion heritage. We are dedicated to ensuring that our educational programs, events, and digital platforms are available to everyone, regardless of ability. Accessibility is a core pillar of our commitment to empowering individuals and organizations through education and skill development.

    Our teams are continuously working to enhance the accessibility of our services. Below are key initiatives we undertake to create a more accessible Academy platform:

    Accessibility Initiatives

    1. Accessibility Guidelines

    We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, as established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and incorporate the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) specification. Our website and mobile applications are evaluated using the international Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) to ensure compliance with global accessibility standards.

    2. Compatibility Testing

    We conduct regular testing to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies, including screen readers such as NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA), Job Access with Speech (JAWS®), VoiceOver for macOS and iOS, and TalkBack for Android. This ensures that our website and mobile applications are navigable and usable for individuals with diverse needs.

    3. Subtitles and Closed Captions

    Many of our educational videos and courses include machine-generated subtitles available in multiple languages, with closed captions provided where feasible. Visit our website or mobile app support pages to learn how to enable and use subtitles for an enhanced learning experience.

    4. Video Settings

    Our video player offers customizable settings to improve accessibility, including keyboard shortcuts for adjusting playback speed, volume, and other features. These settings are available on our website and most mobile applications, empowering learners to tailor their experience. Learn more about video player settings on our support page.

    5. Search Filters

    Our platform includes search filters that allow users to identify courses and content with subtitles or closed captions, making it easier to find accessible materials. Explore our search functionality to locate content that meets your accessibility needs.

    6. Design System

    Accessibility is embedded in our internal design system. Our designers and engineers collaborate with accessibility consultants to ensure that updates to our platform prioritize usability for all, including those using assistive technologies.
