New training 2017/18

I have emailed them and asked for rectification or explanation, won't hold my breath for a response

Not to my knowledge they didn't but its a non testable item..if the door opens from inside and out its a pass....
Once again ...poor attempts at designing situational judgement questions.

Didn't I read somewhere that they are aware of the "problems" in regard to last years questions and answers and they had "rectified the situation" for this year?

We are forced to pay for a crap and unusable system. I think we should refuse to be tested until it's corrected.

I think the one Pete uses is closer to 1970

As per the DVSA requirements, the new Annual Assessment will be made available from the 1 May 2017. The Annual Assessment for the testing period 2016/17 will still be accessible through this website. Please be aware that Assessments purchased by accident are non-refundable.

I think, could be wrong, that if there is a widespread problem, it will be far greater than anyone lets on. Initially my understanding lead me to believe that any testers, AE's not having completed the assessments by the end of March 2017 would be locked out of the system, however somebody high up in the know at DVSA at a recent business meeting advised that the goal posts had moved and that the responsibility had been placed on the AE's to ensure that their testers had completed the training and exam, or the AE's had to stop them testing, so DVSA are not logging anyone off the system, and they advise also that the service providers, ABC, the IMI etc are not shutting off the training systems either, they are leaving them running so that catch up can be done to bring everyone up to speed. I mean lets be honest, the first year with such a big change and dependent on a new system that a lot of people are not good at using, i.e. computers and software is not a good receipt to ensure thousands of testers and AE's get it right in the first 12 months. 

they've certainly never seen the inside of an escort the car I mean.....

So will those garages that have not complied with DVSA cpd exam be put in the red or amber as some garages have for no reason other than moving the goalposts on site assessment scores without prior warning by DVSA.

the only way to check their cpd is if ves come round,aint gonna happen is it if we are honest.we already know that there aint enuff of em to keep up with site visits/spotchecks as it is.well probably end up with last years being declared experimental/voluntary whatever and get given this years with a message along the lines of"this time we really really really mean it,and if you don't do it its the naughty step for you"heigh ho heigh ho its back to work we go,with a cpd that no one needs heigh ho heigh ho heigh ho heigh ho.....
