TargetConnect

This accessibility statement applies to all TargetConnect instances.

This system was developed by Group GTI as a hosted application for use by our clients (students), each client has their own instance of the application.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this application. For example, that means users should be able to:

  • Navigate efficiently through the site using a consistent menu
  • Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • Navigate most of the application using just a keyboard
  • Listen to most of the application using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • Navigate most of our online forms using just a keyboard

We’ve also made the application text as simple as possible to understand.
