Chris I insist on a week's notice anyway so that upsets the Tutors anyway! Duncan Duncan Buck Exams Co-ordinator Herefordshire & Ludlow College DDI: 01432 365315 Int: x315 Group Email: [log in to unmask] Please remind students that NO Mobile Phones, iPods, MP3/4 players, or any device with electronic storage are to be taken into examination rooms, and that Photo ID has to be shown for all examinations >>> Dulieu Chris -QUILD <[log in to unmask]> 9/11/2013 2:11 pm >>> Just one other little wrinkle with EAL. They have an 8 day resit buffer. So unlike C&G if they fail on Tuesday they cannot resit on Wesnesday. It upsets the teachers no end.

Best wishes Anna Mrs Anna Grantham Examinations Officer HinchingbrookeSchool Telephone: 01480 375700 Ext 5706 From:The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Duncan Buck Sent: 11 September 2013 10:20 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: EAL Elaine / Anna We have also started to migrate to EAL from C&G for a number of qualifications and have had the same experience. Their systems are, errrrr, interesting. Why there is a separation between the SAP and Smartertouch is beyond me, as is their insistence on a member of the teaching team being the lead contact and having the high level access rights. Their qualifications are very flexible and allow the learners to customise them to their needs, hence you need to be firm with the Tutors and insist on them telling you which units to enter the students for. The good news is that you can change them later if the learner's needs change. The lack of EDI integration is as per normal with smaller AOs, a pain in the backside. The onscreen testing works well apart from the lack of EDI integration and the fact that they are not all "on-demand". We are still awaiting DCS so at present claiming is very slow and we have to pay for an EV for each student - painfull with roll-on-roll-off Apprentices as opposed to academic year cohorts.

I haven't done any registrations or anything yet - just got the authorisation to be a centre for them. I've met the EV (very nice man) and had loads of correspondence come through but with a forthcoming exam season, estimated entries, marksheets, EARS .... I haven't had the time to sit uninterrupted to read any of it. If you get any actual and positive info - can you pass it on. We have also just changed from SIMS to Bromcom and guess when my training is - 24 September providing no one else from the place gets in before me, so I could end up missing out altogether and when I phone for help they tell me that because I haven't had my training yet, they cant support me! Sorry for ranting so early in the morning but I'm not having a good day and the Tesco checkout looks very promising - at least I would be able to put the till is closed sign up and pretend I am busy! Anna Mrs Anna Grantham Examinations Officer HinchingbrookeSchool Telephone: 01480 375700 Ext 5706 From:The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Elaine Monks Sent: 10 September 2013 16:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: EAL Hi all We have just taken on EAL admin from the Engineering dept who were clinging onto this bad boy as they refused to realise the importance of MIS and, er, data. So, as you'd expect, we've had no handover; just a case of 'there you go, and where are my certificates?' Having grasped the intricacies of the EAL SAP website and being able to view specifications on there to try to understand how the Engineering quals are structured, we are not clear on what registration pathway to choose as there seem to be many - i.e. it doesn't seem to be a case of a straightforward full qual registration using the qual aim, but you need to select additional units. Does anyone have any advice please on this as we just don't get it, even after speaking with EAL? thanks Elaine Monks Exams Manager National Centre Number63459 YeovilCollege|Mudford Road |Yeovil |BA21 4DR (+44 (0)1935 845523 üwww.yeovil.ac.uk ( http://www.yeovil.ac.uk/ ) Note: This message is for the named person's use only.
