Sorry to hear none of us where successful, I only spoke to one of the other candidates after the exam, he does all the testing for the company he works for all the time, and he was more confident that he had passed the exam than I was! I can't say I'm 100% sure that any of us achieved high enough marks to pass, all I can say is that a couple of us where very confident we had. However, silly mistakes can be made. As the saying goes... s*** happens! Let me know of any news as soon as you have any please. Cheers, Glynn. Hi AL,

I have been doing 2391 and the like for 7 years now and am quite familiar with it all. When I tutor I get to know the victims over 3 days and can usually guess who is the "dead cert" candidates and those who may struggle.......but I have an announcement to make in cyberspace. The course that you sat Glynn was a pleasure to run and I had six VERY strong candidates. I had counted on a 5 or 6 out of six, MINIMUM. I am aware that some do not do exams so well and am realistic in my expectations. Today I spoke to my business manager and he told me some bad news. It is a first, a duck! In other words 6 out of 6 FAILS. I said goodbye and put the phone down and started to think. I believe the results have been loaded wrong or the marker has been over zealous in marking down my candidates. I phoned work back and explained my concerns, having NEVER has a duck in seven years. We are contacting City and Guilds on Monday morning for an investigation. I thank all for tuning in and will keep you posted, as always. Best wishes Alan Hi Glynn,

You probably won’t remember but there were only two of us sitting the exam on the day. I’d also been out of work for a while and you where kind enough to offer me help! Anyway, I was wondering if you are going to be teaching the 2391 at Oldham in October, as I am due to be attending this course too. Kind regards Steve PS. Nice site, and good luck with the second Part P Doctor. Hi Alan,

I was confident when I left the exam room that I had passed the theory side of things and I'm trying my best not to run any of the questions back through my head (it tends to put doubt in my mind about the answers I had wrote!). Anyway, if I pass then I pass, if a pass is not on the cards for me this time then so be it.......... there's always the option of a re-sit. As for the way you took us through the preperation for the exam, as every course you have taken me for so far - I dont feel I have learnt anything..... until the day before the exam when everything seems to come together, you must have some way of implanting answers into our brains without us knowing!! A credit is due for your teaching methods anyway, but don't forget, I can change my mind at any time.. results pending! By the way, do you know what nights my level 3 are going to be yet?? Hi Al,
