At the moment its just you, me and Dotty. Dotty can only do 2pm. If you have a preference day, let me know. I thought maybe Thursday?

2:10 pm to be exact - by the time I've left Timps and parked. LOL. I'm okay anytime, just let me know.:p

Some posters here have had serious problems with getting paid for these jobs by bare - possibly worth steering clear of.

I had an exam tomorrow for them and in checking just now, see it's not been scheduled (they were booking it for me). Don't know what to do now. Have emailed them saying as it's not scheduled I'm not going unless I hear otherwise.
Shame, cos I got a good enhanced fee on it too

Are people just having problems with payments for the test centres as I do car dealerships most months and (touch wood) have never had any problems with payments from BARE?

How easy are those to do as well?

OzzyBear

They're not difficult, just time consuming as you need to do your research on the car beforehand. Worth it though if you get a circuit of a few dealerships (Just setting off now to do 8)!

The pay problem was mainly for the test centres (because these are run by their US office) but I was paid after notifying them.
The tests are esy to do and "relaxing" but they are expecting you now to leave the room at least once and to attempt to cheat which may result in you getting kicked out if spoted. If a keen security guard didn't let you take anything into the room to start with then you're alright and free to spend the 3/4 of an hour actualy doing the test (the best part!)

Are you expected the fail then? Is it a subject that you know or just random?
