Hey Vincent. thanks for your post its a great help. I've been conversing with fas all morning, i believe i kind of freaked them out as they wanted me to postpone until January but i refused so i'm starting back next Wednesday with a jaws programme on one of their computers, the one i was doing Monday night was file management and it seemed alright the ones i'm going to need plenty of help on would be access and powerpoint as I've never ever worked with these two programmes, so get ready for ECDL overload. Just keep your mouses crossed that they get the Jaws by next Wednesday. yours Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: vts To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 10:01 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: e c d l hello Jackie I have done my ecdl with fas. some of the trainers in fas are very slow when it comes to jaws and blind people. but I think you will get through it fine with some help from vics freelist. I had some great help from Paul traynor. and I am sure I can pass on some of his great knowledge he gave to me. there is also a few others on this list that have just passed the ecdl recently that I am sure will help you to what I will say if you are doing the course with the class and you have to keep up with them you might try to pass on your questions as soon as possible to the list or who ever is helping you so you can keep up. other than that you will fly through it. most is easy there is just a few jaws key strokes that you will get stuck on. but that's what we are here to help with. regards Vincent ----- Original Message ----- From: Donegal.Jackie To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 8:16 PM Subject: [vip_students] e c d l Hey all i'm just wondering is there anyone out their that has done their ECDl via FAS. I've started a night course and they seem a tad clueless. i'm more or less wondering how the exam was done and what accommodations where made by FAS. its only a ten week course and my laptop is running a older operating system and older programs so FAS wants to get JAWS yada yada yada but knowing the economic crisis and the fact that i'm in a mainstream class with an instructor that doesn't appear to have a clue on visual impairment, i want to ensure that i'm not left behind and that they cater for my needs. thanks in advance Jackie Jackie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter.
