The Astra IPT Learning Hub is built with accessibility at its core. We believe that professional learning should be available to everyone, regardless of ability or how you prefer to interact with technology. This page outlines the accessibility features available in the platform, how to enable them, and how to request additional support if you need it.
The Astra IPT Learning Hub is designed and tested to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines. If you encounter a barrier that prevents you from accessing content or completing a course, please contact the support team so we can address it promptly.

​
Available Accessibility Features

Closed Captions

All video lessons include closed captions. Enable them directly in the video player to follow along with spoken content in text form.

Keyboard Navigation

Navigate the entire Learning Hub portal using only your keyboard. All interactive elements — menus, buttons, forms, and video controls — are fully keyboard accessible.

Screen Reader Support

The Learning Hub is compatible with major screen readers, including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. All images include descriptive alt text and page structure uses semantic HTML.

High Contrast Mode

Enable high contrast mode to improve text and interface readability. This setting increases color contrast ratios across the portal for users with low vision.

Adjustable Text Size

Increase or decrease the text size within the portal to suit your reading preference, without affecting the overall page layout.

Video Speed Controls

Play video lessons at a speed that works best for you. Adjust playback speed from 0.5× to 2× using the speed control in the video player.

​
Enabling Captions

Closed captions are available on all video lessons and can be turned on in just a few steps.
1

Open any video lesson

Navigate to a course and open a video lesson. The video player will load in the main content area.
2

Click the CC button in the player controls

Look for the CC (Closed Captions) button in the bottom toolbar of the video player. Click it to toggle captions on.

Select your preferred language

If captions are available in multiple languages, a language selector will appear after clicking CC. Choose your preferred language from the list. Your selection will be remembered for future videos in the same course.
