Prepare for the IAAP Web Accessibility Specialist (WAS) exam with 58 interactive labs, a 28-topic WCAG curriculum, and 1,000+ practice questions. Every lab compares broken vs fixed markup with real macOS VoiceOver sessions and Chrome accessibility tree captures — so you learn to interpret AT output, not just memorize success criteria. Learn + labs are free. Independent study platform — not affiliated with IAAP.
Hey PH 👋 I'm Marios — I built WAS Lab while studying for the IAAP Web Accessibility Specialist exam.
The gap: knowing WCAG vs explaining what VoiceOver and the accessibility tree actually report. Every lab was captured with real AT sessions before going live.
Free: 58 broken/fixed labs + 28-topic curriculum. Also: 1,000+ MCQs and mock exams for WAS prep.
Independent — not IAAP-affiliated. Still a candidate myself.

How does the free tier actually work - is all 28 topics of the curriculum unlocked or are the labs gated while questions stay open?

Great question, @serpildemikafr ! The free tier includes access to the complete curriculum structure and a selection of questions and interactive labs so learners can experience how the platform works before committing. Some advanced content, additional question banks, and premium features are reserved for paid plans.
I wanted to make sure people can genuinely evaluate the platform first, especially since accessibility education benefits from hands-on learning rather than just reading theory.

How does the free tier handle progress tracking across the 28 topics, or is that gated behind a paid plan?

Thanks for asking, @fatma_c6670 ! Progress tracking is available in the free tier as well. I felt it was important for learners to see where they stand across the 28 topics and build a consistent study routine from day one.
The paid plans focus more on expanding the learning experience with additional content, question banks, and advanced features rather than putting the basic learning journey behind a paywall.

Curious how the VoiceOver sessions work in practice — do you need a Mac to view them, or is there a transcription or audio playback for folks on Windows? Also does the free tier actually cover enough to pass or is it more of a sampler?

@aminejllp Great questions! The VoiceOver sessions are designed to be useful regardless of your operating system. You don't need a Mac to follow along - the sessions include screen recordings and explanations so learners on Windows or other platforms can still understand how VoiceOver interacts with the page and compare it with their own testing workflows.
As for the free tier, it's intended to provide real value rather than just a quick demo. It gives learners access to the platform's approach, interactive labs, and selected content so they can genuinely evaluate whether it works for them. The paid plans expand on that with additional content, question banks, and advanced learning features for more comprehensive exam preparation.
