To enable apprentices to deepen their knowledge in a practical way, they are given training projects:

- Final project of their choice, including presentation
During the training, apprentices can prepare for the Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) exam. The certificate issued by the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) is recognised worldwide.
