Thanks for the resposes on the Victor Stream. So far the highest offer is $280 and shipping. I emailed directly to those making offers but will keep checking here for any others. In answer to the questions about sources for what text books needed, I fund large print books in massage, anatomy, etc that meets my needs better than recorded. Thanks, Victoria

> Hello everyone,
> It's time to start thinking about the Fall instructional offerings, and we
> have developed
> some new options because we know that everyone has different goals and skill
> levels.
> Therefore, Rigel Technology now has three separate options for our on-line
> Microsoft Office training.
> They are as follows:
> 1.
> Microsoft Office Specialist Certification. This is our good old flagship
> course
> to prepare students to take the Microsoft Office 2007 Specialist Test. We
> follow
> a Microsoft approved curriculum, and focus on using the Office Suite with
> various
> screen reading and magnification applications. This course has a set
> schedule of
> two 2-hour classes per week and runs for 12 weeks. Students are tested at
> various
> stages in the training and also get a final exam based on the content and
> structure
> of the actual Microsoft Office Specialist certification test. The course
> covers Microsoft
> Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, PowerPoint. Students will receive a
> certificate of
> Completion.
> 2.
> Microsoft Office Light. Not all students will be pursuing actual
> certification,
> and are just interested in gaining new skills to enhance job performance, or
> to have
> a better chance to get a job. Perhaps you are self-employed and want a
> better understanding
> of what Microsoft Office can do for you. This course has been designed for
> you.
> The Office Light course is based on a Microsoft approved curriculum, but it
> is not
> the entire curriculum. Students will receive six 2-hour classes. The first
> 2 sessions
> will be about Microsoft Word, the following two sessions will cover Excel,
> the fifth
> session will cover Outlook, and the last session will take up using
> PowerPoint.
> One additional session will be given as a final exam. Students will receive
> a Certificate
> of Completion.
> 3.
> Microsoft Office Expert Certification Class. This course runs for six
> 2-hour sessions.
> Students must have completed the Rigel Technology Microsoft Office
> Specialist Certification
> course for Office 2007. Students will choose one of two Expert paths:
> Microsoft
> Word, or Microsoft Excel. This course is designed to prepare students for
> the Microsoft
> Office Expert Certification exam. After the 12 hours of instructional time,
> students
> will be given a test based on the Microsoft Office Expert exam.
> All Office Specialist and Office Expert Certification Students will receive
> a book
> and CD of the curriculum. Office Specialist and Expert courses begin
> September 8,
> 2009. Tuition must be pre-paid by check, credit card, or government agency
> authorization.
> Microsoft Office Light classes are individually focused and students may
> begin at
> a time and date convenient to them. Tuition may be paid for all sessions at
> once,
> or a student may opt to pay per session if paying by check or credit card.
> Payments
> from government agencies must be for all sessions.
> For more information, or to register for a course, call
> 888-723-5011, ext. 1.
> We look forward to your participation.

> Hi Everyone,
> John and I enjoyed the convention very much, and it was nice to see a lot of new people at convention. We greatly missed many long time Federationists who have passed on or were unable to make this year's convention. A highlight for us was attending the tallent show and the thrill of seeing so many talented people in our organization. We received as a door prize a cd created by the performing arts division of the NFB. From opera to pop we have some really gifted people in the NFB. There really was something for everyone at this year's convention.
