Accessibility statement for Executive & Professional Education

Last updated: 10th November 2025

This accessibility statement applies to the Executive & Professional Education open in new tab website. This website is run by Cambridge University Press & Assessment open in new tab.

We are continually working to make the Executive & Professional Education website as accessible and usable as possible. To help us make it a positive place for everyone, we’ve been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 open in new tab. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). The target for this website is level AA.

Reading experience

You should be able to:

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts by adjusting browser settings. Different browsers include these options under different menus – they can usually be found under Tools, Settings, Options, Content or Reading View depending on the browser. There are also browser extensions specifically dedicated to changing colours and contrast options, e.g. Change Colors open in new tab for Google Chrome and Color Changer for Mozilla Firefox open in new tab.
  • Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen for most of the website.
  • Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
  • Navigate the page in logical reading order with the ability to skip to headings, regions and hyperlinks.
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (e.g. the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver), including image descriptions for images that convey meaning.
  • Use text to speech tools to read out website content in both PDF and HTML format (e.g. ClaroRead for Chrome browser, etc.). Text to speech tools are built into some browsers (e.g. Microsoft Edge) and are available as a plug-in for many others. Your phone, tablet or laptop accessibility settings are also likely to provide text to speech functionality.
  • Use speech recognition software (e.g. Dragon) to activate interactive elements with voice.
  • Skip directly to main content and other important pages.
