Hello Tataindi,
The braille proofreading course is no easy course to take. You must be 
able to rewrite pages that have lots of mistakes, you must be able to cite 
mistakes, give the line number and cite the rules. then at the end of the 
course, you must submit a 35 page braille booklet with no more than three 
errors per page and you must show the correct Library of congress format. 
so you can see, it's a daunting task! I tried and I came within one lesson 
of submitting the 35 page course then I quit the job because I didn't like 
the supervisor. Also because my contract was up. <smile>
Now that's the proofreading end of it. I hear you also need to do the 
transcriber's end of it and that entails a 35 page braille paper at the 
end as well. You sure you want to go through all this? <smile>
