Online Computer Essentials Training
The Cisco Academy for the Visually Impaired offers online
computer essentials courses for people who are blind or have low
vision. Because of a collaboration among organizations,
including Curtin University of Australia, Cisco Academy, and
qualified instructors who are blind, the same course material
that is taught to sighted students is presented online in
accessible formats. Training can prepare individuals to work
helpdesks, act as network technicians and service routers, and so
forth, in one or both of the existing courses. As the name
implies, Cisco equipment is used, but preparation for A plus
certification includes work with Microsoft, Linux, and Apple
products.
Students who are visually impaired from Australia, Egypt,
India, Sri Lanka, Canada, and the United States have
participated. The cost is $75 and includes certificates. For
