    I think it depends on your SR with AQA (no one has ever had a go at me on texperts, but then I have always been over the £100 mark). My SR was particularly officious, I'm sure they are not all the same and many don't take issue.

    I too was under the impression that there was minimum and although they didn't tell me otherwise the 'tellings off' made it clear that they expected more.

    Well... if anyone tries to have a go at me I'll start quoting their T&Cs at them.
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j
  • Hi. I've been reading this thread with a lot of interest as I applied for a job with AQA a few weeks ago. I received an e-mail today telling me I'd passed the test and need to sign a contract before the induction.

    I have a question though, and will be really grateful if someone is able to answer.
    In the e-mail, it says:
    Please read, sign & return the contract within the next 10 days. You can either email it back to me ensuring that you have re-named the document as your Firstname Lastname.doc, or you can return it by post to [address]. *PLEASE NOTE that a REAL SIGNATURE is required to validate the contract (NOT A TYPED ONE) and you ONLY NEED TO RETURN THE SIGNED FIRST PAGE. You needn’t worry about returning your contract back by email, if you will be posting a signed copy.*
    I'm a little confused :o as it says I can e-mail it back or return it by post, but then says a real signature is required.
    So do I definitely have to mail the signed copy?
  • So do I definitely have to mail the signed copy?

    No.

    Either scan in/take digital pic of your actual signature & attach it to the contract then email it OR sign the form and put it in the post. Do one or the other.

    When I joined, I signed the contract and emailed them a scanned copy showing my signature. That's probably all you need to do, but just to be on the safe side I posted the hard copy to Rowina as well!

    They just mean that you can't email them the contract without a proper signature on it (i.e. you can't just type your name in the signature box, it has to be real handwriting).

    Good luck with your induction :)
  • Thanks you two. :) I mailed it earlier.

    All done on the PC, no mobiles involved :)
  • hi guys just submitted my test - fingers crossed. just wondering something technical about how it works - do you have a set 'shift' or can you log on to answer questions whenever you like? do you have agreed targets for number of questions to answer in a week etc?
    thanks,
