About This Course
The CPACC Exam Preparation Training Course is designed to raise and recognize accessibility skills for individuals considering taking the Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC).
The CPACC credential is IAAP's foundational certification, representing the practical application of broad, cross-disciplinary conceptual knowledge about 1) disabilities, 2) accessibility and universal design, and 3) accessibility-related standards, laws, and management strategies. By obtaining this certification, you will be able to serve as a resource and disability ally who works to create a more fair and inclusive environment.
The CPACC Exam Preparation Training Course, designed and developed by a team at Princeton University, has been updated based on the October 2023 IAAP Body of Knowledge updates. The course is highly recommended for anyone undergoing their first CPACC accreditation and is a useful refresher for renewing CPACC holders.
About the Princeton CPACC Test
The Princeton CPACC Test is an optional knowledge checkpoint for CPACC applicants to take before sitting for the CPACC Exam. The test should be in addition to your study and preparation. The test is a good review of the concepts in the CPACC Body of Knowledge as covered in the course.
The test is not intended to be a CPACC Sample Exam.
Important points to consider before investing in the test:
- The Princeton questions are written as a teaching assessment, not as exam questions. You can review sample CPACC Exam questions on the CPACC Sample Questions webpage.
- The Princeton test questions are grouped by CPACC Body of Knowledge Domains. The CPACC Exam questions are randomized.
