The caa needs to enter the real world with its procedures.

Its getting there with commercial but still some of the form filling rubbish procedures are farcical if they think we actually do it the way they think we do it.

There have obviously bought some expensive adobe software to try and lock forms down so you have to print and sign them then scan them back in etc.

It takes 10 seconds to get round this security feature.

As long as they are sending out paper copys of exams it will never be secure. And there will be a small number out there that will cheat.

They seem hell bent though not using a commercial proffessional exam provider which the likes of microsoft and others use.

The exams are unproffessionally set and of poor quality and it could be argued not fit for use.

I don't have a clue what the new ones are like I didn't even bother to pull the torent.

I suspect i wouldn't be able to pass them anyway.
