I wonder if with Microsoft now offering online proctored exams ... how could they ultimately tell if someone is reading to you on the backend? Theoretically this could ultimately become a non-issue. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Chris Nestrud Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2017 10:22 AM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Applying for accomodation through Pearson Vue My understanding is that you apply to Pearson Vue, Pearson Vue submits to Comp Tia, Comp Tia approves the request, Pearson Vue provides the accommodations. The available accommodations for Comp Tia exams are extended time and a human reader/scribe. The local testing center provides this person. For some other test programs the process is: you communicate with the provider, the provider approves you for accommodations and communicates that to Pearson Vue, Pearson Vue provides the accommodations. Allowed accommodations depend on the test program. The page with information on how different testing providers handle accommodations is here: http://www.pearsonvue.com/accommodations/select_program.asp This page has accommodations-related contact information for various testing centers, including Pearson Vue. https://cm.wgu.edu/t5/tkb/articleprintpage/tkb-id/student-services/article-i...

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.
