Accessibility statement

This statement covers the website coursekit.de and the CourseKit software: the member areas under customer.coursekit.de or a custom domain, and the administration of those member areas.

CourseKit is software that coaches and trainers use to provide online courses in their own member area. Members sign in without a CourseKit password, using Google or a link they receive by email. They then see the courses unlocked for them, structured into modules and lessons with video, text and downloadable materials; progress and bookmarks are saved. Course providers manage courses, members and access in the administration.

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, as adopted by the European standard EN 301 549. CourseKit partially conforms to these requirements. This assessment is a self-assessment; no independent audit has taken place yet.

• Every function can be operated with the keyboard, and the focus always stays visible. Drag & drop sorting in the administration works with the keyboard too.
• The controls of the website and the administration are built on Radix UI, which provides focus management, ARIA roles and keyboard support.
• The colour editor for member areas adjusts every chosen accent colour so that it reaches a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 in both the light and the dark scheme.
• There is a light and a dark colour scheme. Animations are switched off when the operating system is set to reduce motion.
• Before release, every page is checked automatically at phone and desktop width, among other things for cut-off content.
• Charts in the statistics have a text alternative.
• The language of every page is declared. The interface is available in German and English; everyone chooses their own language.

• The member areas and the administration do not have a “Skip to content” link yet. coursekit.de has one.
• There is no password: members sign in through a link by email or with a Google account, staff can also use a passkey. If you cannot use either yourself, please contact us or the course provider.
• Embedded video players from Vimeo and YouTube come from those providers; we cannot influence their accessibility.
• An independent audit is still outstanding, so further barriers are possible – please report them to us.

Courses, videos, texts and materials in a member area are added by the respective providers. They are responsible for captions, transcripts, image descriptions and accessible PDF documents. Towards their participants they are the provider of the courses; CourseKit provides the software.

If you notice a barrier or need content in a different format, write to us at kontakt@coursekit.de. We usually reply within two weeks.

If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can contact the Market Surveillance Authority of the German Federal States for the Accessibility of Products and Services (MLBF) in Magdeburg. It monitors compliance with the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG). We publish this statement regardless of whether the BFSG applies to an offer aimed exclusively at businesses.
