Hi friends,

I am a native Blind person from malaysia. Been using screen readers and
informally testing for web accessibility for about 12 years now.

I have completed the deque accessibility
specialist course and in the progress of completing the DHS trusted tester
course.

I am in the fourth course, but the platform reset happens and I have to
retake everything together.

I would love to know more about the processes that's needed for me as a
person from a global south country to enter into paid web
accessibility testing job.

1. Is the dhs trusted tester course is a must to complete? Is there any
ways for me to recover my completed courses? I have emailed them but there
is no reply from them yet.
2. What other courses do I need to do to get a good chance of being hired?
3. Are there places that I need to check periodically for job offerings?
4. what are the usual salary/payment look like in this industry for a
person that works remotely from a global south country?

As I am new to this field on looking for jobs, Any other advices or
pointers from experience is much appreciated
