[nfbcs] Certiport (wasJava Certification)

[Larry Wayland]

I have dealt with Certiport and their accessibility issues in the past.
Talking with them on the phone they seemed to think they were in compliance
with the law by allowing more time and a reader and showed no interest in
changing their stance.  What do you all think of their accessibility
solution?

Hello:

     I am responding to a comment that mentioned Certiport. In 2010, I took
and pass the IC3 certification with Certiport. The only way I could do it
was to get an extension for time and to also have a reader. Certiport was
quite fast in making the necessary changes. I supplied my own reader, but
the instructor was in the room when I took my test. The questions I dealt
with were fairly short. I would think you would need to see the Java in
braille to deal with it. There are legal issues here.

Regards,

Robert
