IAAP certification
Also known as: CPACC · WAS · CPWA · IAAP CPACC
The International Association of Accessibility Professionals offers three accessibility credentials — CPACC (foundation), WAS (web specialty), CPWA (combined) — recognized worldwide as the professional benchmark.
The IAAP is the global professional body for accessibility. Its Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) exam covers disability awareness, accessibility standards, and universal design. The Web Accessibility Specialist (WAS) exam is a deeper technical credential focused on WCAG implementation. Holders of both are Certified Professionals in Web Accessibility (CPWA).
Israeli accessibility consultants who serve international clients often hold IAAP credentials in addition to their Israeli מורשה נגישות license, because IAAP certification is the credential international clients recognize.
