So the email that told me that I passed the #CPACC opened up with "Congrats, [Legal Deadname], you passed!"
The name on my candidate profile is not [Legal Deadname], so this was surprising. (They did have my legal deadname for ID verification at the testing centre).
I just wanted to share so that other folks can emotionally prepare for that to happen, because I wasn't.
like, *sucker punch* you passed, you trash!
They didn't apologize, by the way.
Recently took the #CPACC exam and just published some notes, reflections, and other tools that I developed when preparing for it.
It includes a Final Reflection, alongside a mini-game that tests all the demographic statistics in the Body of Knowledge, notes on everything including all of the additional readings stuffed into the back of the BoK, and a page with a compilation of all the legislation.
(Almost) left #X / #Twitter permanently, looking for old and new #accessibility friends and experts to share our knowledge and inspire for business success!
My expertise: accessibility policy writer, accessibility Public & Regulatory Affairs, accessibility management, accessibility strategy, accessibility awareness and equitable #AI
Finished the @dequesystems prep course for the #iaap #cpacc exam and listened A LOT to the new #TheAlbumLeaf record.
Which is apparently a live session and the perfect soundtrack for studying: https://tidal.com/browse/album/366557856?u
Will now deep-dive into theoretical models of #disability and #UniversalDesign, not many details stuck on the first go
@yatil "One of the greatest obstacles is probably the sheer number of well-trained accessibility professionals."
Who do you consider well-trained? Is it people with a #cpacc and #was certificate, or people with plenty of practical experience?
I consider myself a newcomer and I'm still not sure if those certificates would help me to find a more #a11y focussed job.
Talking to a bunch of recruiters this year it's very clear to me that German companies do not care about it at all.
