I took two certifications within the past year, including one related to Amazon. Here's what I remember: You'll use Pearson Vue's website to request accommodations, this will send you to the Amazon specific website to select the exam, then you'll call Pearson Vue accommodations team to schedule the time. I requested screen reader (JAWS), headphones, Braille display. They had to manually approve, this eventually got done, they wanted to make sure the headphones were wired and they were so this wasn't an issue. Be sure to request "modified check-in", this will bypass the need for you to take a phone camera picture of your ID. This should happen automatically as a blind applicant. In both cases I was transferred to someone at the beginning of the exam, they were concerned at being able to see headphones via the camera, then they looked at the accommodations list and there were no issues. The browser was accessible, no issues with answering exam questions. I did not need to chat with the exam proctor. Overall interacting with Pearson for accommodations was a lengthy but not terribly memorable experience. Good luck!

Hello, I'd like to take one of AWS certificates with Pearson VUE as provider. As a blind person I need some accomodations and I'm wondering if you have any experience with that. I read some information about what Pearson can provide and I'm going to          contact them soon. I'm thinking about the following topics: I'd like to take this test online so I need to use NVDA with headphones. Is it allowed given that they run checks on my computer before exam to look for any unauthorized software. I know that they have their own browser to run those tests and I'd like to know if it's accessible for screen readers and whether I could test it before. I'm from Poland and I have documents confirming my disability in polish so do I need to translate them and provide to Pearson to prove that I'm blind. Lastly how this proctoring works? I know that they assign someone to watch me during the exam but are they aware that I'm using accomodations like headphones and screen reader? If you have any knowledge about above topics or any other suggestion please share. Best regards Jakub
