[Trainer-Talk] intro and question about qualifications

[Gabe Vega]

When I was younger and fold to believe that these assistive technology certifications really mattered in the workplace. I received an a T ACP. From sea son. It's a pretty recognize certification, but now as an employer, it's meaningless to me. Meaning I don't believe certifications is what makes a person or a good instructor I believe skills and rapport and Personability skills is what matters

I’m looking for work in an office doing outreach programming or communications work. Another idea is to train people in technology as a job.

Do you have rehab teaching degrees or perhaps teachers of the vision impaired degrees? I know Acvrep was developing a certified assistive tech test to certify AT professionals. Not sure if that was implemented yet.
