<a name="OLE_LINK2"></a>Attention all interested in receiving National
Certification in Literary Braille (NCLB):<br>
<br>
<br><br>
The National Blindness Professional Certification Board (NBPCB) would
like to again offer NCLB braille certification at the NFB National
Convention in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Dallas this
July. 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.<br><br>
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> <br><br>
If you are interested in testing at the NFB national convention, we
request that you fill out our brief online interest form with a note that
you are interested in testing in Dallas. Please do so before February
10th. This is an interest form only and is NOT an application. A
sufficient number of candidates are needed before the test room can be
scheduled; Thus, by filling out the interest form you are increasing the
chances that the exam will be offered. You will be notified of the
decision by mid February.<br><br>
<br><br>
We urge that you fill out the brief online NCLB interest form
