Training (including ICT Accessibility Training)

Red Flag: Total Participants in ICT accessibility training is 10 or less.

ICT accessibility training participants provide one of the required performance measures. As a result, if there are zero or very few training participants in this topic area, the performance measure calculation is highly unstable. Every effort should be made to increase these numbers.

Red Flag: ICT accessibility training narrative description is AT, not ICT accessibility.

There continues to be confusion about the content of information and communication technology accessibility training versus AT training. The term ICT includes websites, content delivered in digital form, electronic books and electronic book reading systems, search engines and databases, software, learning management systems, classroom technology and multimedia, telecommunications products (such as telephones), information kiosks, and automated teller machines (ATMs). Training on AT products used to access websites (e.g., JAWS) or AT telecommunications products (e.g., CapTel phone) are not ICT accessibility trainings.

Red Flag: Large portion of training participants cannot be categorized by type and/or have unknown geographic area.

When you are unable to report the type of geographic area for a large number of training participants, that suggests that the event might have been more of a public awareness than training. In general, participants in training events can be individually identified by type and general geographic area. Archived online training should be structured to allow for participant type and geographic area to be gathered along with verification of actual participation if the event is reported in the APR.
