This page lists what we are doing to make Sensations English more accessible, who is doing it, and by when. It accompanies our accessibility statement. We update it when work is completed or dates change.
Where we are: Sensations English is partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA. In September and October 2026 our development partner fixed every known issue on the learner platform, the teacher tools, sensationsenglish.com and the pages of our webinars website. The remaining work is captions and transcripts for webinar recordings, our forms, and further testing.
