RMIT Training is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website. We strive to adhere to the applicable standards and guidelines.
Applied standards
This website endeavours to conform to level A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.
This site has been built to substantially comply with W3C standards for XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0. The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant with XHTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.
Additionally, this site presents all content within a semantically valid and carefully developed information architecture. Consistent and meaningful language conventions, document format hierarchies and page layouts have been adopted throughout the site.
The W3C accessibility standards were also actively considered when creating the design and layout of the site.
Exceptions
Portable document files (PDFs)
Adobe Acrobat PDFs have been used to present lengthy documents and formatting that cannot always be presented in HTML or text, or which may be better suited to reading as a download, storing on a local computer, or printing on a standard printer. If you have problems downloading these documents, print versions can be made available on request (contact us).
By downloading the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (it's FREE), you'll find there are a number of features that support disabled users. Including the ability to:
- read PDF files aloud using standard operating system text-to-speech functionality
- have greater control when using screen readers
- evaluate the accessibility of an Adobe PDF file.
For more about Adobe's PDF accessibility, and to download the latest version of the PDF reader, visit the Adobe website.
Tables
Some tables may have been used for formatting purposes in this website.
Where tables have been used to display data, we have attempted to comply with W3C standards for HTML markup of those tables so that they read correctly in screen readers and accessible browsers. However, the full features of W3C standards may not have been applied.
Streaming video
All video portrayed in this website is presented in a way that aims to reach the widest possible audience. However, streaming video presented in this website may use the Adobe Flash video player and may not comply with W3C standards.
Our commitment to accessibility for all users
Although our website may not comply precisely with all the standards and recommendations that are ideal for access of content by all users, RMIT Training nonetheless makes a firm and ongoing commitment to the provision of content to all users. Our content authors are trained in content accessibility issues. A continual improvement strategy is in place for the website.
