That is fine, but I still don't seem to be able to log on, how do I become 'registered'

Select Register and complete the form.

John,


I don't quite understand all that, does it mean that a parent or guardian must give their consent in order for a youngster to submit their E-mail address in order to take the test?

No, I was attempting to suggest some sensible guidelines but I am not sure if anyone else has gone through the PP apart from me.

You are the first person to refer to it so I guess that everyone else that review the site was happy with it.

Then again....

Matthew,

We are deliberately witholding the practice questions from you as they are far too difficult and we don't want to embarrass a GM. Why, Stewart Reuben when taking the Level One Practice exam,could only score 17 out of 20!

According to Zen Internet it does but maybe I should ask them again?

There is a big difference between switching accounts and changing the name belonging to (legal registration...) of a domain - you could of course leave the name without issue I suppose

These bits...

Registrant:
John Upham

Registrant type:
Unknown

You can switch control of the domain etc. but changing the above bits etc. used to cost extra

I have tried to register, both at home and School and get this

Error : There is no person with this email alias and this password for this role

and various other error messages. Has someone else registered?

[Matthew Turner]

OK I am registered as a student now, not sure I managed it, but I'm in!

Do we need a certificate of merit forum section I ask myself

The ECF website says
"Examinees can practice as many times as they wish. The tests can only be accessed from the website"

I am afraid this is not true. The practice tests are not there yet.

This is out of my control. I have been promised them for Thursday. Apologies to all.

John,
I do not blame you, because I do not know the circumstances, but it is completely bizarre to launch a site that does not work. Whatever must LV think?

Aaaargh! "practise" not "practice" - we are in England not USA.

Kevin,

I have asked that this also is corrected.

[Matthew Turner]

John,
We do not need to worry about a small spelling mistake. THE SITE DOES NOT WORK.
Let's take down the launch statement until it does, or else the ECF are being made to look stupid.

[Adam Raoof]

I went on to the site, I registered. I paid by Paypal and did the test at level one. I got my results immediately by email.

I got one question wrong! I passed though

I have plenty of feedback, and have provided some of it, but the site works. We now have something to play with - we can see it, and sell it. If there are aspects that need to be addressed, then let's be specific and allow John to deal with them.
