Yes. I work for a university in Virginia, so I could get certified? Also,
any idea on costs? I'm submitting a budget, so I need to give an estimate
of costs for training and taking the exam. I tried calling the folks from
DHS's Office of Accessible Systems & Technology, which is supposed to be
responsible for the certification, but could only leave a message and
nobody has gotten back with me yet. Called SSB Bart and Deque and they
didn't seem to know how I could get trained and certified.
