Hi. Do Cisco provide an accessible version of the exam for blind people with a screen reader? Microsoft do this now and once you schedule the exam with Pearson it actually works quite well. I can do it at home with the testing software so long as my screen reader is not through my headphones.

Currently working on my CCNP. Unfortunately I can't vouch for packet tracer's behavior with screen readers but it works fine with a magnifier. I can play around with it on Monday when I get back to work and let you know how it goes. How far are you into studying for the CCNA? Are you taking classes or doing it alone? Which OS and screen reader are you using? Also just a heads up regarding the actual exam: If you're in the US you'll have to deal with Pearson VUE's terrible ADA accommodations process. The best thing you can do is research testing centers near you and call ahead to make sure they can meet your needs. Pearson is supposed to do that for you but after taking 9 tests with them I can tell you they don't. If you have any reasonably sized community college or university near you, they probably have a testing center, and if you're lucky, they'll be comfortable proctoring exams for other disabled students. Good Luck. On Thu, Jun 1, 2023 at 1:42 PM David Mehler <dave.mehler@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello,
Do we have anyone who has taken and/or passed the CCNA exam? If so how did you handle packet tracer? Is it accessible?
Thanks. Dave. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
