The qualifications seem to vary wildly. SOme states require a masters degree
in rehab teaching or a similar field while others are fine with a
technology-related bachelor's. Alternatively, you could work as a contract
employee where your experience and knowledge will end up as your primary
characteristics for getting work. As for the NFB training centers, there are
some with a Bachelor's degree, though I'm not sure on the exact
requirements. Above all though, you need experience, the ability to learn
new concepts quickly and the ability to relate and hone your teaching to the
style of the client. I know the NFB centers have had a couple of recent
openings for tech instructors. Try looking through the archives on this or
other lists to see what job qualifications they were seeking and go from
there.
Apologies for a bit of a vague response, but perhaps this will help out.

  I'd also like this info: here in Mexico technology instructors are
lacking, thus I'd like to start on going to blind people's homes and
teach computers and other technology?
