Compliance status
We strive to make our website accessible to all. In doing so, we are guided by the current standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). In 2020, an accessibility check was carried out for this purpose, and a re-check was carried out after programming-technical improvements towards accessibility. In 2020, an accessibility check was carried out for this purpose, and after programming improvements towards even greater accessibility, a re-check was carried out. accessibility, a re-check was carried out.
As of 5 November 2021, this website is partially compliant with Conformance Level AA of the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG 2.1” and the applicable European standard according to Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
a. Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
When using a screen reader, the news contents move in front of the main navigation. This is a technical limitation of the content management system used in combination with the presentation of the news overview as a drop-down menu on all pages. We plan to redesign the news section in the next development cycles.
b. Disproportionate burden
The individual search parameters of the facet menu are nested in the list structure and cannot be displayed on one level. This is a technical limitation of the search system used.
Since we display the button for submitting a search with an image of a magnifying glass, the hidden submit button of the search system behind it creates a contrast error in the source code. This is a technical default of the search system used and cannot be changed.
We are of the opinion that a remedy would represent a disproportionate burden in terms of accessibility regulations, as we would have to reprogramme the entire search system here.
However, we plan to take these requirements into account in the next development cycles.
c. The content is not within the scope of the applicable legislation
The content of the individual learning opportunities originates from third party data sources. Third-party content that is not under the control of OeAD-GmbH is excluded from Directive (EU) 2016/2102. For this third-party content, for example the description or brief description of a learning opportunity, no statement can be made regarding compatibility with accessibility regulations.
