PMI exam
Previously, PMI exam was around $90, and faxed to the CFI. You did it, answers faxed back to Canberra, and a result within 7 days.
Now (get this). Book through ASL: Cash or cheque only, no Credit Card. Bookings only for about 4 sittings a month. $65 to ASL, $69 to CASA. Exam, the same 20 questions floating around for years, is posted from CASA Canberra to ASL Canberra. ASL then AirExpress said exam to exam centre. You front up, do the exam, then watch the invigilator seal answers and exam into another air express envelope to go back to ASL canberra. From them, it goes down the road to CASA canberra, and candidate gets result within 7 days.
My hat goes off to these denizens of forward thinking and efficiency.
