> Attention all interested in receiving National Certification in Literary Braille (NCLB):
>  
> If you are interested in testing for National Certification in Literary Braille, NCLB, at the NFB national convention in Dallas this July, please e-mail Louise Walch, testing coordinator, at braille at nbpcb.org. Please send your e-mail this week if possible. We are eager to hear from you.
>  
> A sufficient number of candidates are needed before the test room can be scheduled; Thus, by e-mailing you are increasing the chances that the exam will be offered. You will be notified of the decision later this month. Your e-mail is merely to give us an idea of who is interested and does not obligate you in any way. 
>  
> The NCLB is the only nationally recognized certification in literary braille geared specifically toward teachers. The NCLB is a five-year renewable certification awarded to those who successfully pass all four sections of the National Literary Braille Competency Test. The cost is $250.
