This can be a barrier that many immigrants face with difficulty due to the expense. Now, <a href="http://jfsannarbor.org" title="reference on Jewish Family Services" target="_blank">Jewish Family Services</a> has such a recertification program for new immigrants to be certified as an accountant, a teacher, a barber or a number of professions, per the attached brochure.
