To answer two questions
1) We do not use Microcompass to generate the NQF4 form. We still use an in house produced system.
2) Off the top of my head I would say it was Charlotte Frost who I believe is in charge of Operations who said yes to generating the NQF4 form.

Can you give me the name at OCR who authorised this? We asked in January when we realised the implications of the NQF4 and were told definitely no.

If you are talking about the NQF4 form we generate them from our system and OCR are fine with this.

We are looking to go to Pitmans for our full time secretarial students but looking at their new paperwork they seem to be going the same route as OCR. I don't think that there is any comprehension of how we have to apply this paperwork in the conduct of examinations, within the college structure. Having to hand write their forms is beyond belief. When I have asked OCR if we can generate our own version they have said no. Is this progress???

Subject: Re: FromAoC: Edexcel - Summer 2003 GNVQ and VCE award claims inel igibility reportDo you use OCR (RSA)? This month of June we have almost been driven mad with the amount of paperwork required for Text Processing, Certificate in Admin etc, not to mention CLAIT PLUS. How can they justify all this additional work? As to unit numbering for the Certificate in Admin - the number of times I have supplied the wrong papers to individual exams is quite alarming, all due to the subject codes now being used by OCR (RSA). Time to make a move, I think.

I hope that the new NQF paper work requirements for all Boards will be included in these discussions. We are constantly being requested to reduce the amount of paperwork that our tutors have to complete due to the overload they are facing and I thought that the government was already recognising the effect of bureaucracy on the admin load of tutors. Not a lot of sign of any reduction of paperwork and fewer chances to automate the systems as far as I can see.

Subject: Re: FromAoC: Edexcel - Summer 2003 GNVQ and VCE award claims inel igibility reportI get the feeling that almost every institution in the country has had the same problem with the ineligibility reports and various other issues relating to the entry process with EDEXCEL. I am on the planning group for the next AOC/ACRA Examinations Officers Conference, we will be meeting next month and I will be raising the issue again about EDEXCEL and its various admin procedures.

We also received a reasonably lengthy report from EDEXCEL for students that were ineligible, in virtually all cases there wasn't a problem or Edexcel had entered students for the wrong units. I have written to EDEXCEL expressing my concerns over the procedure. Two students in particular have been sorted out on three separate occasions but further ineligibility reports were received from EDEXCEL.
I would also urge anyone who has had problems to contact EDEXCEL in writing otherwise the service offered will never change.

Subject: FromAoC: Edexcel - Summer 2003 GNVQ and VCE award claims ineligibility report
As you know, AoC continues to work on behalf of colleges with the awarding bodies to look at how we can make processes more college friendly. This year, as last, we have received information from Edexcel about a considerable problem over ineligible student entries for GNVQ and VCE awards. While we cannot verify that all the information is accurate the scale of the problem ranges between 2 and 4% in some areas. This affects several thousand students.
We would urge all colleges to read carefully the recent letter received from Edexcel and contact them directly with any queries in writing to:
