[NFB-Braille-Discussion] I'm Kind of Excited

[Dean Martineau]

I'm curious about some practical matters. 

Is there a demand for more proofreaders?

What approximate pay can one expect to earn from places like Clovernook or
APH?

Are French or Spanish proficiency in demand?

Is a Perkins brailler a requirement for the course?

The likelihood I'll pursue this is not great, but I am gathering the facts.

Thanks.

Dean

I took the course in the 1980s.  I passed the test for the UEB letter of
proficiency, and I had to take it twice.  Don't be discouraged if you have
trouble, because you are not the only life-long braille reader who is amazed
by what you didn't pay attention to.  

Good luck.

... because I just completed my first assignment in the literary braille
proofreading course!

Since I was trained in EBAE at five, learning UEB feels like, I'm learning
braille all over again. But I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'll give you guys
updates as I go along. After my Lesson Two exercise is evaluated, I'll get
an instructor. I would love to hear about experiences from those of you who
took the course in the past.
