Hi Andrew,
Most network diagrams are pretty standard, and one can study the basics in a
Cisco course or from someone with experience. I believe you're in the U.K.,
so things may be different, but, here, Prometric provides the reader, and
you may in some cases be able to get a free retake of the same exam at a
later date if you can show you failed for accessibility reasons. I thought
that might be necessary for CCNA because of those diagrams, but it turned
out that I passed with a good score regardless.
As with anything else, you might find out that you can get a lot more
accessibility than you might expect if you're willing to ask good questions
and self-advocate. :-)

Hi,
Nearly every question in the exam was diagrams. It didn't help that I
had to get my own reader, and they weren't that fimilar with Cisco
symbols in the diagrams either.
I did the exam 3 times before giving up in disgust. :-)
Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
Has CCNA changed significantly over the past couple of years? I passed
mine
and only recall a couple of diagrams. One of those was just connectors,
which I fortunately did study ahead of the exam. :)

Hi,
I suspect you would need to get a reader, as the exam machines are
seriously locked down, and I don't know the state of them anyway using
Jaws.
Let me know how you got on - the CCNA exams weren't brilliant due to the
diagrams involved, I suspect the MS exams may be slightly easier due to
the nature of the beast.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Hello all, I am taking some MCSA course at New Horizons, mostly using
JFW or System Access. The MS certification exams are now given by a
company called Prometrix. Is anyone familiar withthem and is it possible
to take the exams in accessible format?
Thanks
Frank
