Happy New Year All,
I ran into the same problem with the Microsoft Certs a few years ago and never tried again. I took the exam twice and failed it because the reader that Prometric cent couldn't read proper English.

I've wanted to think about certification once again, but due to just this problem, I've not thought of it. I had a friend of mine ... who is also a disability specialist, so they took her word for it, sign the forms and what not, and then when I finally got to the testing center, the guy at the front desk ended up having to read to me since I wasn't even discovered on the list for an exam! Needless to say, due to his accent, my entering into it too soon, and my nervousness over the fact that somebody on their end screwed up, I failed the exam by a tiny margin.

I am preparing to take my CISSP exam through Pearson-Vue. I had to do some hunting but this is what I found. Their accomodations request system is a "crock". Working with their tech support was fruitless because they could not or would not tell me why emails sent to my address were not being sent by their system. I do have an accomodations number, it is 800 466 0450 also you will need to complete on of their accomodations request forms and your docotor will need to fill out a form to essentially veriffy what is needed.
Once all the forms are filled out you have to wait until they are reviewed and then you will be able to schedule an exam. I am at form completed stage in the process. I haven't sent the forms back to pearson yet.
If you have any questions contact me off line at gbobo@woh.rr.com

Hello Folks
I am going through the process of applying to complete the Security Plus creditation with CompTIA.
However, I have been advised by the examination centre that I must first register with Pearson Vue.
They have a process of providing accomodations for folks who need this.
I am experiencing difficulty with this process.
1. They do not appear to have specific accommodation for blind persons.
2. The website doesn't allow me to complete the process of applying for an accommodation.
3. There's nobody to contact about this.
Before I start digging deeper, has anyone out there had similar problems in the past with Pearson Vue, with regards to applying for accomodations.
Regards, Paul
The application must be made through their website.
