Apart from the snow and AAT server being down around Xmas, I have to say we have been running AAT online exams all week back to back and they have been very smooth without issue. I hope I am not speaking too soon!

AAT have supposed to have sorted it out but we will wait and see! We use external invigilators. Have not had any dealings with the e portfolio's as of yet.

There are a lot of problems with these at the moment, which AAT are trying to resolve. If we run evening exams/e-portfolio's, our invigilators deal with them, as we do not have an Exams Officer on site in the evenings. They are full trained on how to operate these exams/e-portfolios.
