Non-accessible content

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the BTSF ACADEMY website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for the BTSF ACADEMY website:
  1. SCORM: Some learning modules hosted on this website are provided as SCORM packages by external partners. As these packages are authored using third-party tools and managed independently, we cannot guarantee their full accessibility.

    Even SCORM content developed internally may include accessibility limitations that are currently beyond our technical control, such as missing alternative text, improper focus order, or lack of keyboard operability.

    We are working with our partners and the learning design team to improve the accessibility of SCORM-based content over time, but we cannot guarantee that all modules meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

    Users encountering difficulties with SCORM-based materials are encouraged to contact us for alternative formats or support.

  2. Images: Some informative image elements do not have a descriptive alternate text and some decorative image elements do not have empty alt attributes.
  3. Multimedia: Some videos and podcasts do not have captions, transcripts or audio descriptions.
  4. Dissemination kits:Some documents in .docx,.pptx format and are not accessible.
