[NFBCS] Cyber security training program

[Sean McMahon]

So we’re back to Pearson is the culprit again unfortunately whoever you use for the cyber security program you’re going to have to deal with somebody like Pearson and somebody like the certification body. I’m going through a similar situation right now. These guys are totally full of bullshit. they don’t care about accommodations and they don’t care to really provide anything useful and good luck. Scheduling an exam when you finally get whatever meaningless accommodations they attempt to give you it will take a minute one more barrier folks, but in the end we can do this we have to

I participated in the program and it is lousy. I ended up dropping out. I know several people who had a similar experience. The people who run the program have no clue about how blind people use computers or assistive technology. The program uses Pearson for testing and dealing with Pearson is frustrating. I would stay as far away from the apex program as you can.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew about or have participated in the Apex training program for cyber security. This is a cyber security training program specifically for those who are blind or visually impaired. If so, what do you think about it? Thanks in advance.
