If there was an option to study online then yep definitely would be
something I'd consider. America is a bit far to commute though haha.

Subject: Macintosh system administration for the blind
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?
