HFD, the development of e-exams is still some way off, but I will raise the topic of an examiner signing off the applicant's readiness to sit a particular exam section.

There is a risk of Internet outage causing problems; I assume that the exam section will be generated and sent to the ATO terminal, so that the section wouldn't be interrupted if an Internet outage occurred during the time the applicant was working on it.

One thing we do not wish to see is the e-exams only being available at CAA locations. Because we view the need for an examiner to debrief the applicant as being essential.

B61, the new questions will be outsourced; there aren't enough people left at the CAA with the relevant knowledge to produce 600 questions and 2400 answers in-house.
