Accessible Podcasting (ACP100)

Develop your podcasting skills with two microcredentials designed to help you create podcasts that are accessible and inclusive to all. Enrol in one or both to earn microcredentials and take your expertise to the next level, in order to meet accessibility standards and create inclusive content.

In the pre-production course, you’ll learn about planning, researching, interviewing and writing. The production microcredential is more hands-on, with a technical focus on working with the equipment and software that industry producers currently use.

These microcredentials are for recent media or communications graduates, entry-level producers and people interested in creating podcasts. No prior podcasting or technical experience is required.

This is one of the first programs in Canada to focus on accessible podcasting. The microcredentials are funded by the Broadcasting Accessibility Fund and have been developed with the CNIB Foundation and the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association.

• earn one microcredential for each completed course or earn the Accessible Podcasting microcredential by completing both courses
• develop the skills and expertise to make content accessible
• reach a broader audience and increase awareness, as accessible podcasts are more searchable and engaging 
• course content structured with accessibility in mind so that anyone, including producers with disabilities, can learn to produce their own podcasts
• convenient, flexible delivery with online classes you can complete at your own pace

From pre-production planning through to publishing, these microcredentials will help you create podcasts that are accessible right from the beginning. They will also ensure you have the skills to produce podcasts in compliance with Canada’s current and upcoming accessibility regulations.
