Fellow blind internet users, I have a question. I would like to undertake several tech exams including the Azur AI practitioners 900. I can access the learning material online through Pluralsite via my company. However, the exams are run by Pearsonview, who take over and lock your laptop into the test. I worry this will break NVDA. Pearsonview do not seem to understand what being blind is, it frightens them. Has anyone done this before or can suggest an alternative? if possible I'd like not to have to travel to a place to take the exam. Please booste.

@ednun_p @menelion Pearson vu specifically works with nvda. You need to file with them to state you need it. I took the CPACC with no problems. They support Nvda and jaws.

@vitallie @ner @ednun_p @menelion I'm in one of BIT's programs and they say that salesforce has now moved to Pearsonview, and that you have to submit accommodation requests and get them improved, but that it is accessible and will allow you to use such features if you've requested them. Is best if the company handles the accommodation request on your behalf, though, because otherwise they might require a doctor's note for proof of disability.

@x0 @vitallie @ednun_p @menelion Definitely true though the doc note isn’t too difficult. Might be for some though. Iap handled everything then Pearson called to confirm. Iyou only require a screen reader and assistance to id you can confirm junk yourself without a call once approved. f

@ner @x0 @vitallie @menelion cool thank you this is all really good to know. How do I raise the requests with pearsonview? there is an accomodations email, is that who I send to? also who do I have to include from microsoft? I hav a card saying I'm registered blind as I@m from the UK so proof isn't a problem.

@ner @x0 @vitallie @menelion They have an accessibility email address now as well. Good old chat GPT told me. So I've emailed, let's see what happens.
