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

[Christopher Murphy]

There is  no need to take the tests for NVDA and fusion before hand, unless they want to do that.
	The only exam I took was the Jaws test the second time I went through the Assistive Technology instructor program.

You also need to know that your student will need to be certified in NVDA, and Fusion. If she can get all of these certifications out of the way before she gets there. It will greatly enhance her experience at WSB. However, I would be very skeptical about sending your student there. A lot of the politics at WSB have been ugly which has negatively impacted the students there.

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.

Lastly, I would like to get any person’s experience with World Services for the Blind in Arkansas that I can relate back to my client so that she can make the best and most sound decision as to where she will go or not. Thank you all and I hope to hear from you soon.
