Hi Greg,
Absolutely, but would these qualifications be open to those of us
living outside of the UK?
Thanks

Iain Murrey of Curtin University in Perth and I have been
discussing
an idea of training the blind and dyslexic to be Macintosh systems
administrators. Curtin University already offers a course in Cisco
administration for the blind ending with the the student taking the
Cisco exams.
Given that the Mac now has a built in screen reader in both MacOS X
and MacOS X Server we feel we could offer such training to the
blind
and print disabled.
Curtin might offer courses leading to the various certifications
Apple
offers. These courses would be tailored to the needs of blind and
dyslexic students, they would, for example have their training
materials in braille and recorded formats. Tests would be
administered
in braille or orally and so on. As Curtin University already has
experience in this sort of training worldwide it would seem to be
the
logical place to develop such training for the disable.
So what do you think is this something for which there would be an
interest?
