Competency Test (NLBCT) of the National Library Service (NLS) has been
transferred to the administration of the National Blindness Professional
Certification Board (NBPCB). With the NLBCT as its cornerstone, the NBPCB has
established the National Certification in Literary Braille (NCLB), which is a
complete professional credential that requires recertification on a five year
cycle. Individuals who were certified with the NLBCT prior to 2006 will need to
retest through the NBPCB; however, the initial fee may be waived if the
applicant can show proof of original NLBCT
credential.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></SPAN></A></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>

examination has not been substantially changed from its earlier version once
administered by the NLS, however a five year recertification requirement has
been instituted in the interest of maintaining high standards. The exam is not
aimed at transcribers. Rather, it is a valid test of a person’s ability to
competently read, write, and understand contracted, literary Braille, and is
being targeted to all individuals who teach Braille professionally, and/or those
seeking to be credentialed in this
