Hi All,
Just to add that I've been collecting these for
the suggested skills base, so once everyone has
replied I'll put together the complete list,
which can be re-sent to the group for peoples'
reference, and maybe for the A2T site also.
I'll be on holiday from next week for a while so
just to wish you a good summer.
Best,
Peter

Firstly my apology to Steve Dryden for omiting
his name from the apologies list for the Sight Village meeting.
Also well done Steve, you are the first to put
your Access Tech. skills on this list. Now
Steve and I have put ours, it's time everyone
else did likewise. We all have different skills
and experience and all have different numbers of
years in this sector. We need everyone to
contribute to this exercise even if you have
only just started and feel shy that your list of
skills is not as long as others. It all makes
a comprehensive countrywide skillbase, (if I can use such an ugly word!).
Riverside Training started in 1988, so has been
in this sector for 20 years this week!
I give training in:
Window-Eyes, Jaws, Hal, Supernova, Lunar plus
and Lunar, Zoomtext magnifier & magnifier reader and Guide.
In OCR software:
Kurzweil 1000, Cicero, OpenBook
in Braille translation software:
BrailleMaker, Duxbury and Cipher
in mainstream business applications:
all Microsoft Office applications with a proviso
that basic training in Access can only be
guaranteed over pre-arranged and agreed
areas. Web based training in screen readers and
magnifiers is also a specialism using either
Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
My experience and qualifications:
Sight & Sound Technology ? Jaws Screen Reader
Accredited Trainer - 1996<?xml:namespace prefix

A member of the Steering Group setting up the BTCS scheme

The Riverside Training Partnership is an

We can also resell most Access Technology products on demand.
The Riverside Training Partnership has also
worked under contract for the Dept. of Work and
Pensions, Access to Work Scheme specialising in
assessing those with visual impairments since 1996.
There are other skills I have not in this
sector, (in response to Peter's request for
group members to name other skills) which I will
make available for the web site at a later date
when this first exercise has been completed.
I am now on holiday celebrating 20 years of
Riverside Training and back after August 15th.
