The NFB Non visual Certification is for websites, not individuals.

Hi Marc,

One that comes to mind immediately is EASI training and certification
with the Univ. of Southern Maine:

http://www.easi.cc/workshops/certificate.htm


EASI training some twelve years ago got me started in accessibility, but
I did not the complete the full set of classes to get the USM
certificate. I don't think it was available then, but I'm not sure anymore.

I've seen that the NFB has a Nonvisual Accessibility Web Certification,
but I don't know much more than that.

Will you be posting the results of your information gathering?

-Marco.

What else does anyone recommend or suggest avoiding? Quality matters more to me than location or costs. I appreciate any suggestions and feedback you may have.
