Is there a contact e-mail address for these guys? I applied a week ago and have heard nothing back and no NDA. When I log in, under status it says 'New Submissions".

I think some of you guys are ahead of me (and perhaps others). I've only just finished the training set, so I have other tests to do yet?

Passed qualification! Quite relieved as it is good to know I'll soon be earning money again.

Hoping their quality assessments will be far less draconian than Appen, but only time shall tell.

Well, weirdly it appears that I DID pass. Seems I was right about failing to spot the "close enoughs" early on!

Now signing forms.

Good luck to everyone else. Don't really want to be doing this thing alone, for a start!

Well done! Really pleased for you both! :T

Yes, there are qualification tests, which are the final stage.

Oh.. Assumed from your post yesterday that you had just completed the final tests!

You need to have scored 60% on the training to get moved on to the actual qualification. (Check under "My Report" to work out your score if you haven't had an official email yet.) The final stage is then made up of three much smaller sets of questions, two of which you need to pass at a certain %.

Hi Bex, do you work for Appen too? I transcribe for Appen but I don't do WSE. I have never heard about a conflict with transcription and I don't recall signing a contract with Appen to say that I wouldn't work for anyone else. That wouldn't be something I would be inclined to sign as there is no way you could survive on such sporadic work!

Anyway I have submitted my details for iSoftStone transcription to see what happens. They didn't want anything more than basic details at the moment thank goodness...I have about 7-8 weeks transcription work for Appen on the go at the moment

I have done a bit for Appen in the past, but only stuff they contact me about. Which seems to just be the voice recording stuff these days. I never applied for transcription work - I applied for WSE and failed the tests, but they occasionally offer me short transcription jobs. How did you get the 7-8 weeks work?

I might try both transcription and WSE for iSoft Stone then...

Well it seems I did pass the training after all and I now have access to the qualification tests This part looks like it will be harder though, so I'm not feeling too confident

Ooh, congratulations! Did you miscalculate, or do you think they let you off?! Good luck for the final part, anyway.
