Chanel,

You will want to learn whatever languages are primarily used to develop the type of digital content you are assessing. For example, for web-based digital content you will want to learn HTML, CSS, and javascript.

As far as freelancing goes, it also may be useful to perform a few free assessments for some of your favorite local non-profits as a way to practice and showcase your skills to prospective employers. I know the last time I was looking for a job as an accessibility consultant quite a few employers either asked me to perform an assessment or provide them with samples of my work.

Thanks,
Tim
