Now most invigilators are external and very carefully vetted, beore they're allowed to attend a 5 hours training course each year. It's well worth it though!<br />Richard Hardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053966010128373952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622544917745692912.post-75824398500170741142015-05-23T20:32:22.493+01:002015-05-23T20:32:22.493+01:00I totally agree, Jane.

I examine GCSE Computer Studies, and am continually amazed that the candidates can decipher the questions, let alone come up with the answers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250387358371385212noreply@blogger.com
