[nabop] Introduction and question

You might check with the NFB, as I believe they work with the NLS course, 
sorry, do not have the details.

Also, I'm not so sure about the amount of money you can make as a 
transcriber.  Is this a side income?  You won't become wealthy doing 
proof-reading or transcribing.  I used to have my own business before my 
husband retired and we moved, but it did make a nice second income, but 
would not have been a good main income.

It would be good to have others' perspective on this as well.

Hi, my name is Maria and I live in the Los Angeles county in California.  I
am looking to become Braille Certified in order to obtain employment either
as a transcriber or proof reader of Braille.



I have been reading and writing Braille for over 20 years and I love it so I
thought this would be a perfect career for me.



My question is, how would I go about getting Braille certified?  Are there
any local training courses?



Thank you all in advance.



Regards,

Maria



The greatness comes not when things are always going well for you.

But the greatness comes when you're really tested,

when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes...

Because only if you've been in the deepest valley

can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
