NV Access

We are very proud of all our NVDA Certified Experts! Special shout out today to Iman Rammal from Qatar & Norbert Rum of the USA; both recently awarded certificates!

Do you have what it takes to become an NVDA Certified Expert? Why not put it to the test: certification.nvaccess.org

The exam is free to sit. If you purchase the certification, you are helping provide NVDA for free to everyone around the world!

Plus you get a snazzy certificate & badge for your email!

@NVAccess Oddly, got a '502 bad gateway' message by clicking the link in this post.

@FreakyFwoof Thanks yes I posted that at the perfect time, didn't I? I'm getting it as well now (though not 14 seconds earlier when I copied the link to put in the post). Chasing it up now.

@FreakyFwoof Ooh, it's back, quick try now before I break it again!

@NVAccess Nope, I lied. It just took an age to refresh.

@FreakyFwoof @NVAccess Yeah, that system seems rather unhappy. Did you feed the database with Microsoft ribbon commands or something?

@jcsteh @FreakyFwoof The wheel is slowling down - Quick! Fetch another hamster!

@NVAccess Why does this page take so much time to load? It's really slow - the opposite of what NVDA itself is <smile>.

@amir We are aware of it, and yes, do intend to see what we can do to speed that up - it is slow but generally (touch wood, and apologies about earlier) it usually gets there in the end.

@NVAccess Hope it hasn't been triaged with a P3 or P4 label as it means we have to wait either many years or indefinitely to see it fixed <chuckle chuckle>. One of them is here - not mine, but really worth taking care of: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue

@NVAccess so I got my certification in 2018. I could do it again and donate another 99 bucks. Has the exam been updated? Might be worth doing.

@mcourcel @bmoore123 It was last updated in 2022. An update will come, but I need to update the Excel module first (the exam doesn't have anything to do with Excel, just that module really needs an update). So, there will probably be a 2025 version of the exam :)

@NVAccess @mcourcel alright, thanks. Will do it again when the new one comes out. Good to be updated.
