Welcome to the Cisco Academy For the Vision Impaired, also known as CAVI
A leading technology school for blind and vision impaired people around the
world. www.cavitraining.com/
We're glad you've stopped by. We're excited about showing you how our academy
can help you reach your goals. Online learning can level the playing field for
blind and vision impaired people who want to learn computer and technology
skills. Local schools may have excelent classes, but transportation issues,
higher costs, and lack of accessibility of the curriculum hold some people
back. CAVI has spent a decade working to bridge this gap for our students.
You'll find links to our course offerings and enrollment forms on this page as
well as links that tell you more about who we are and what we do. You will also
find an easy to use contact form in case you have any questions.

If you've ever wondered if blind people could fix computers, design websites,
learn programming, run Linux servers, build networks, or work with audio
production, you're in the right place. You can learn to do those things too.

CAVI provides accredited Cisco Academy courses, computer skills courses, and
employment preparation sessions for people who are totally or partially blind.
The instructors have years of experience in their technical field and are blind
as well. Many of our students get a job after graduation, while others focus on
pursuing skills related to a hobby.
