A CoM Credit remains until test passed
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2010 6:14 pm
A substantial change has been made to the charging model for CoM as of today, 22nd November, 2010.
A purchased CoM credit will not be used until a test is passed (at any level).
Let us assume the student takes a test at Level One and passes (most do) and then progresses to Level Two.
Let us assume that the student fails (a dirty word but I am prepared to use it here) at Level Two. The student will not lose that credit and it will remain with them until they take and pass another test.
Hopefully, if this news is widely circulated, then students will be motivated to work through all the levels only using a maximum of three credits.
OK, so the ECF may make less revenue as a result, but, on the other hand, greater numbers may result in more tests and more revenue.
The most important consequence, of course, is that more students take more tests and get to improve their chess to a larger extent!
