Hello Cath I would advise your friend to get in touch with the QCDA Field Officer (previously NAA Field Officer), I am sure that they can put her in touch with local exams officers who use the SIMS system, failing that the local education authority should be able to offer some guidance. Regards Mandy Ogden Examinations Officer Doncaster College Tel: 01302 553524 Fax: 01302 553520 ________________________________ From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cath Smith Sent: 01 September 2010 08:16 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: SIMS Query Hi I have a friend who has just started work at a local school which uses SIMS, I have never used this and know nothing about it but have noticed it being discussed on here occasionaly. Does anyone have any user guides, instructions on how to use it as my friend has been told that by monday she needs to have figured it out and she has no-one to help her or give her any training! Anything would be a help to her. Thanks Cath Smith Examinations Officer New College Stamford 01780 484368 ________________________________ This message is sent in confidence for the addressee only.
