[Trainer-Talk] Jaws certification test and World Services for the Blind

[Nancy Coffman]

All of the questions on the JAWS certification can be answered in the JAWS help. it is also a good idea to use the files in FS Reader to study and make sure you have the basics. It is an open book test so it is possible to look up commands on the fly. I use the JAWS key with space then j to look up keystrokes as you need them.

Best of luck. I always figure if I don't pass a certification test, I have accepted a learning opportunity.

> Hello all, I had a few questions for you. I have a client that might be sent to Arkansas’s World Services for the Blind for assistive technology training and certifications. She would like to take the Jaws certification test and we are working on ways to study for the exam. Are there any written resources or study materials that anyone has that can help me out? I am also trying to get Jaws certified and I would like a more structured way to study for the exam as the website is quite vague and not very helpful. If anyone has any tips tricks and any resources on taking and passing the test, it would greatly be appreciated.
