Yes, indeed, Jerry. “ABCs of UEB” is available as a BRF from BANA’s website.
You can get it from there, or you can use the copy that’s attached to this
message, which I’ve gone ahead and downloaded from BANA’s website and
extracted. (The document’s dimensions are 40 cells by 25 lines, and it is 106
pages long.)

Thanks to you and Shelley. I am already EBAE certified, so I think I will go
with the ABCs of UEB. Can you tell me if it is in a BRF format, and is it
already formatted for embossing?

The ABCs of UEB that Shelley mentioned can be found on BANA’s website along
with a host of other UEB resources, including some Example Documents in UEB,
which can be useful reading practice.
In my experience, the UEB Manual from NFB (available on NFB’s website) is the
most thorough resource to use in preparing for the exam for a Letter of
Proficiency in UEB. Its Drills and associated keys provide excellent practice,
especially in some of the finer points of applying the Rules of UEB. In
addition, it is convenient that this Instruction Manual and the exam for a
Letter of Proficiency in UEB are prepared and maintained by the same group.
Two other resources that some of my team members have found particularly
helpful are WCBVI’s Introduction to UEB video series and RDBIC’s UEBOnline
Braille training for sighted learners.
Here’s to great studying!

I found the ABCs of UEB to very helpful. It just goes through the changes
instead of the whole code if you are already NLS certified in EBAE.
Good luck,

To All UEB Users:
I am uncertain as to how to phrase this question, so I will just jump right
in. I am asking this question to all certified UEB users in the United States.
Can anyone tell me as to which resources are best for studying for my letter of
proficiency test? I have downloaded the lessons and UEB manual from the NFB,
and have already received the “Update To UEB” manual that was produced in
Canada. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Jerry
