It is a major certification for people starting out in the Information
Technology field.  It covers computer hardware, operating systems,
networking, mobile devices and troubleshooting, for the most part.

Hello everyone:

I will be applying to take the A+ certification exam.  I know I asked about
this a while back.  Someone responded and told me that the only
accommodation that they will offer for this exam is a human reader, which to
me is not acceptable.  I would prefer to take the exam on a computer with
JAWS/NVDA.  I know this same issue was brought up with the BAR exam and it
was solved through litigation.  I am prepared to raise the same stink in
regards to blind people receiving fair and just accommodations.  I would
like your opinions - is it worth it?  Why wasn't the decision on the BAR
exam case binding on other testing companies?  If I did succeed in being
able to take the exam on the computer with a screen reader, would the exam
be accessible?  I look forward to your responses.  I'm getting pretty damn
fed up with the belief that a human reader is providing equal access.

On the other hand, there is part of me that just wants to take the exam and
get it over with...
