Thanks, Duncan – very helpful. So, the additional units are part of the norm and we need to confirm them as part of the process of the full qualification registration?

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.

Hi Elaine
I have also just had this land on my plate! 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!

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
