[nabs-l] UEB certification

[minh ha]

I'm taking the Braille Transcriber's course from NLS administered by
the NFB and I have to say the process is excruciatingly slow. It's a
correspondence course so you do the lessons, and you send the lessons
into an instructor and wait for them to get back to you. It takes
two-three weeks for the instructor to get back to you with your graded
lessons. This is a common complaint that I've heard from other people
taking the course. Otherwise, the course is pretty easy. Since they
have switched over to UEB for transcription, if you take the course,
you would get your certification in UEB braille transcription.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
