Hi Mike,
I think your college has made a massive error in closing the exams department as nobody understands exams like an exams department. People don't understand how complex some awarding organisations can be, and lets face it, curriculum areas aren't the best with their data as it is. Who is going to check that the learners have achieved the correct qualification and registered on the correct qual and within the specified time frame - does she not realise that this will cost her money? Are you expected to train the curriculum areas up in exams? People how no idea how complex exams are and how knowledgeable the exams team are.
I would like to wish you lots of luck Mike in the future whatever you do.

Subject: Exams department made redundant
Hi all, first I would like to say happy Easter Then I would like to say beware. This college has decided and issued its proposal to close the exams department in full. All exams work will be placed in to curriculum.
Please can I ask that if there are or you know of any colleges out in the big wide world that do not have a dedicated exams officer or no exams officer at all.
If you have any view as to the above please can you respond ASAP so that I can reiterate it to the head of this centre as I Firmly believe she has made a drastic error of judgment.
If you do not reply may I take the time to thank you for your support over the past six years and wish all of you the best for the future (especially administering the functional skills exams :) Please watch your backs as quality (so I'm am being told) is not important, just the pennies count.
Thanks
