Raising the Bar on Accessibility: Jake achieves globally recognised CPACC certification

Jake stands on the Malvern Hills wearing orange sunglasses and a white T-shirt that reads “good good good good double good”, with a scenic view stretching out behind him under a dramatic cloudy sky.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Jake Quirke, a Frontend Engineer at Giant Digital, has officially passed his Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) qualification.

This is no small feat - CPACC is a globally recognised credential that requires deep knowledge of accessibility principles, standards and inclusive design. Jake’s achievement is a testament to his passion for making the digital world more inclusive and ensuring that everyone can access information in ways that work for them.

Jake’s enthusiasm for accessibility runs through everything he does. He has played an important role in shaping projects such as our work with British Wireless for the Blind Fund, where accessible design isn’t just a feature, it’s fundamental. Beyond client projects, Jake also challenges us as a team - asking the tough questions, pushing us to think differently, and making sure accessibility is considered at every stage of our process.

At Giant Digital, accessibility isn’t a box to tick. It’s part of who we are, and Jake’s achievement is another step forward in making sure the digital world is open to everyone. We couldn’t be prouder - well done Jake!
