Yet again get online UK!
Not trying to thread creep BUT the problem here is very similar to the that on the electronic submission thread. If all exams, medicals, and results were in their entirety submitted electronically.
It would serve as a backup in case of fire, flood and other disasters. it would also eliminate the issue of schools, instructors, etc querying what really happened. I.e like our bank statements you can either see it or not. Further it would prevent unscrupulous schools editing, loosing, or withholding things to get more money out of students as I have seen numerous schools do! allow better and instant capture of statistics. Improve oversight for the CAA and especially in the case of ceasing trading, insolvency, etc allow a student to move to any other TRTO/FTO and the org taking over Trg to have full and instant access to all Trg records, results and details.
Other countries have been doing this for literally years when are we going to get with the times in the UK we are the slowest to take on new technology at our peril.
