There is an increasing requirement from the EQA providers to enter results on-line and receive reports on-line. For some, printed paper reports are no longer available.This all takes some considerable time, which used to be the time of the EQA provider, and is now mine.Not to mention the quantity of paper and printer ink used to print off all these reports.These, and postage and packing, (not to mention staff time) were all costs previously borne by the EQA provider, and presumably costed in the annual EQA charge. I have the feeling that I am now doing all the work and I am certainly not seeing any reduction in the charges from the providers. Does anyone else have the sneaking feeling that they are being taken for a ride?
