    I thought I was going to fall at the first hurdle there for a minute! I just did the pc test and it failed me first time, said our network wasnt fast enough :mad: This is quite true as though we pay for up to 8 meg, we only get a palty 1 :sad: The strange thing about it though was that I had the laptop plugged straight into the router via ethernet when it failed. It only passed after I went back to wireless again :confused: I would have thought it would have been faster plugged in! Maybe tech support isnt for me lol.

    Like peacock3022, I got an email saying I am being sent a cd next and will be phoned if my pc passes the next test. Maybe its because the lappie failed the test first time around?

    Good luck everyone applying :D

    That is odd about the wireless thing because it
    says you cant use wireless when your working with
    them, you should use a ethernet cabe to a modem/router

    i think the real test is when you get your workbooth cd
    this will prove that everything will work when it comes to
    starting for them

    I'm pretty sure you need to use windows explorer as your browser. Maybe you could try again using windows and see if you get the window then?

    Oliver27 has posted a list of the steps above which is very helpful!

    Arrrggh, goodness knows who I will ask!! I havent worked for over 2 years due to looking after my child who had a serious illness :sad: Are you allowed to use 2 friends or does it have to be at least 1 workplace and 1 friend?
