Symbol of CPACC

This was the first attempt I took and from the moment I took it, I was very confident about it and wanted the results right away. Some where down in my heart I knew, the takeaway from the knowledge I learnt from exam was very low, because:

  1. I was confident I could always look up this information

  2. I studied some laws and rules, just for the exam and totally forgot about them (ironically, this is the section, why I failed)

But, it was not all waste, by writing it I understood my level of accessibility understanding, it showed me areas where I must improve. But overall my takeaway from this experience is that, CPACC is really good to understand the basics and why accessibility is important and how to navigate it in a corporate world. I believe it is not required for a UX Designer, all the information learnt here could easily be learnt outside if you are interested. But again it's the case of University vs self learning.

I'm going to try this again, if my budget permits in March and it will be because I want to way to show employers I understand and not just say it. But I'm also going to take the Trusted Tester exam from DHS before that. I believe that is a better exam as well to up skill myself.
