Free accessibility assessments
Accessibility assessments are a growing part of eLaHub’s work. They help organisations understand where they are with accessibility, benchmark their progress and decide what to focus on next. The eLa1000 Accessibility Assessment is our flagship assessment, with more coming soon.
eLaHub’s flagship eLa1000 Accessibility Assessment
The eLa1000 Accessibility Assessment is a free benchmarking tool for organisations that create and deliver learning content. It helps teams explore their current accessibility practice, identify areas for improvement and decide where to focus next.
It is also part of a wider eLaHub initiative to build a clearer picture of accessibility across the learning industry. By bringing together insights from organisations completing the eLa1000 Assessment, we can identify common challenges, raise awareness and help move accessible learning practice forward.

Designed for accessible learning
The eLa1000 Assessment brings together eLaHub’s specialist auditing experience, the eLa Framework and accessibility standards. It is designed specifically around the accessibility challenges organisations face when creating and delivering learning content.
Shaped by accessibility auditing
The questions draw on hundreds of hours of eLaHub accessibility auditing and the issues we regularly find across learning content.
Grounded in accessibility standards
The eLa1000 Assessment draws on WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA requirements alongside inclusive learning principles.
Designed for learning content
Questions focus specifically on learning content, interactions, multimedia and the practical realities of creating accessible digital learning.
Based on the eLa Framework
The assessment uses the practical principles behind eLaHub’s eLa Framework, connecting accessibility requirements with everyday learning design practice.
Considers different access needs
Questions explore barriers that can affect people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive access needs.
Looks at wider organisational practice
The assessment explores policies, processes and ways of working alongside learning content, giving organisations a broader picture of their accessibility practice.
Delivering impact for organisations
Abri used the eLa1000 Assessment alongside the DALC Programme to benchmark accessibility, identify priorities and support wider change across the organisation.
Abri’s work was also featured on Learning Now TV, where Alan Jerram, Learning & Development Manager, discusses the assessment, how its findings were implemented and its role in rebuilding accessible eLearning.
The eLa1000 Assessment helped Abri:
- Establish a clear baseline for accessibility across its learning content.
- Identify specific gaps and priorities for improvement.
- Create a shared language for accessibility within the learning team.
- Inform the rebuild of its eLearning with accessibility in mind from the start.
- Extend accessible practice into areas including marketing and communications.
Benchmarking accessibility across the learning industry
The eLa1000 Assessment is an industry-wide initiative designed to build a clearer picture of accessibility across L&D. By making a comprehensive assessment freely available, it gives practitioners a practical place to start while gathering evidence that can help move the industry forward.
A comprehensive picture of accessibility
The assessment explores learning content, learner experience, tools, policies and organisational practice, helping reveal where the industry is doing well and where the biggest gaps remain.
Raising awareness across learning teams
Working through the assessment prompts teams to consider areas of accessibility they may not have explored before, helping to start more informed conversations and identify practical priorities.
Building an industry-wide benchmark
Insights from organisations across L&D are brought together to build a clearer picture of current accessibility practice across the industry.
Creating a state of the industry report
The findings will feed into a wider industry report, helping organisations compare their accessibility maturity with the broader L&D sector and highlighting shared priorities for future progress.
