Accessibility Statement

This website was designed to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA, as referenced by the harmonised standard EN 301 549. According to our self-assessment, these requirements are largely met; the known limitations are listed below. The requirements of the Austrian Accessibility Act (Barrierefreiheitsgesetz, BaFG), which implements Directive (EU) 2019/882, have also been taken into account.

• In the automated test, colour contrast is at least 4.5 to 1 for normal text and 3 to 1 for large text.
• All links and buttons can be reached with the keyboard; the focus is clearly visible. The course detail view takes the keyboard focus when it opens, keeps it until it is closed and then returns it to the course tile; the detail view and the mobile menu close with the Escape key.
• If “reduce motion” is set in your operating system, the website shows still images instead of animations and videos; all content remains available.
• The “Pause motion” button in the footer of the home page stops all animations and videos that play on their own, at any time.
• At a screen width of 320 pixels, every page can be read without horizontal scrolling.

• The “In the heart of Vienna” section shows a silent video without sound or information of its own, so it has no captions or audio description. All information is given in the text.
• For text placed over videos and images (for example in the opening section), contrast cannot be measured automatically. Such text sits on darkening overlays.

This assessment is based on a self-assessment carried out on 9 October 2026: automated testing with axe-core (rules for WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, levels A and AA) with “reduce motion” enabled, after scrolling through the whole page, at phone and desktop widths; a check of keyboard operation (every control on the home page reached with the Tab key and checked for a visible focus indicator, the course detail view and the mobile menu opened and closed with the keyboard); and a check of the layout at a width of 320 pixels.
