Accessibility Statement

Prime Edge Systems LLC, doing business as TradeUniv, is committed to making this platform usable by as many people as possible, including people who browse with a keyboard only, with a screen reader, with screen magnification, or with reduced motion enabled.

Conformance status

We target Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

We treat that standard as the bar for the whole platform and test against it as part of our development process, so that accessibility is checked as code is written rather than audited after the fact.

We have not commissioned an independent third-party audit, so we do not claim certified conformance. We would rather describe our position accurately than assert a certification we have not obtained.

What we have implemented

• A “Skip to main content” link as the first focusable element on every page.
• A single <main> landmark and a declared page language on every page.
• Keyboard operation for interactive controls. Where content is reordered by dragging, a keyboard alternative is provided.
• Visible focus indicators on buttons, links, and form fields.
• Text alternatives on images.
• Full support for the operating-system “reduce motion” setting; animated backgrounds render as a static frame.
• Body and secondary text colours that meet the AA contrast ratio against our page backgrounds, in both light and dark themes.
• Focus is never hidden behind the sticky navigation bars when tabbing through a page.
• Sign-in and checkout do not use CAPTCHAs or any other cognitive-function test, and password managers work normally.
• Multi-language subtitle support in the video player.
• Search results, filter outcomes and newly loaded content are announced to screen readers rather than changing silently.

Known limitations

We know about the following limitations:

• Captions on course videos. Videos are produced and supplied by community creators. Our player supports captions in multiple languages and we provide the tools to add them, but whether a given video is captioned is the creator’s decision. Most are.
• Audio description. Videos are produced and supplied by community creators. We do not currently provide a way to attach an audio description track to them, so information a video conveys only visually is not described.
• Uploaded documents. PDFs supplied by community creators are not checked for tagging or reading order, so some may not work well with a screen reader.
• Text over cover images. Community and course names are shown in white over a cover image chosen by the creator. Against a light or busy image that text can be harder to read than the rest of the page, where our text colours meet the AA contrast ratio.
• Third-party content. Embedded players, payment pages hosted by our payment providers, and chat provided through Discord are outside our direct control.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate by replying to our message and asking for the issue to be reviewed by a manager.

Compatibility

TradeUniv is designed to work with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, in combination with the screen reader built into your operating system (VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, Narrator on Windows) or with NVDA. It requires JavaScript. We do not currently test against browser versions more than two years old.

Technical specifications

Accessibility of TradeUniv relies on HTML, WAI-ARIA, CSS, and JavaScript.

How we assess this

Accessibility checks run against our source code as part of development, and we test pages against the browser’s own accessibility tree, which is what a screen reader reads.
