Web Accessibility

NOTE: Some learners may experience issues with the course player and JAWS 15 or 16 that prevent verbalization of alt text and controls.
WORKAROUND: If you experience issues, revert back to JAWS 13 or 14.

Web Accessibility is Skillsoft's implementation of Section 508 and W3C compliance standards. Skillsoft’s products and technologies are designed to provide accessibility features to users, including users of assistive technologies such as screen readers. Skillsoft tests its courses in the current version of JAWS in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers only.

Note: Web Accessibility is not supported for the Skillsoft Mobile Player on smartphones or the Advanced Compliance Module.

Courses accessed from Skillport: On retirement of Internet Explorer, users may choose to use Chrome or Edge for their Skillport experience. Skillsoft believes users will have a good accessibility experience using Chrome or Edge, but please note that Skillsoft makes no accessibility claims regarding use of Skillport via Chrome or Edge.

For technical support, email support@skillsoft.com or access our designated accessibility help line.
