I took CCNA 1, 2 and 3. I went to take the CCENT certification about 2
weeks ago. Getting accommodations was difficult until I was able to to
talk to the right person. The testing facilitators I worked through
was called Personvue, if you have a choice in testing facilitators DO
NOT use Personvue. I had been trying to get accommodations since
November. I had to call in legal help twice.
The Cisco online curriculum itself is now fully accessible. The only
thing that remains with accessibility problems is the companion
program called packet tracer. Packet Tracer is used to build simulated
networks. I was able to get by without using it, because i was in a
lab where I had access to the real equipment.
As for taking a certification itself, a reader will be needed. The
program that the test is simulated in closes all other programs
running on the computer system, and there is no way around that. I
would also recommend extended time because some of the questions where
router configuration is done can take a great deal of time.
The CCENT is the first test in the series and it was difficult. I took
it and received a 768, I needed an 804 to pass. I have not taken it
again because it costs $125 to take, and I will be starting college in
the fall, so money is tight.
If you have any other questions feel free to let me know
