An unpleasant surprise

but could have been worse, could have cost me £116 to find out. Looks like my nice online training course doesn’t cover more than 1/3 of the material I need for the test I’m supposed to be sitting on Tues. Now I think I can rearrange the test, which is just as well, because otherwise it would cost me the above £116, as I’m not going to manage to cram the rest of it by then.

hohum, like I said, could have been worse.

Edited to add: have rescheduled the test for the next possible slot, which is 5-Apr-2005 5:15 PM. Yeuch – it’s a 2 hour test – what are they playing at having exam slots at that time? But the next one after that isn’t for another fortnight 🙁

And again:

Turns out it’s not precisely the course, it’s me. When I explored further, the “course” that I took last week and excelled in is the first of nine. Now it may be me, but the fact that it was called a course, was what was presented after the skills assessment test, and was finished with a certificate, led me to think that it was the sum total of offerings. When I thoroughly explored the interface, I found another 8 modules similarly set up.

I think I’ll mail them and let them know that calling the whole thing a course, and the individual bits units would make life a bit more straightforward…
