AQA recruiting in UK

in Boost your income
AQA are now accepting applications from the UK but be warned - you need Excel to open the test, which needs to be returned within 48 hours of recieving the e-mail. You can just about fill out the application in Wordpad, but it works better in Word.

I have posted in techie stuff, but I am trying to download OpenOffice CALC (Free Excel alternative) to see whether that will be suitable to do the application on as I don't have Excel on this computer! Luckily OH has said I can borrow his if I need to!

    I think you will have to go to AQA's website and email for a request for an application and test paper.

    Thats what I did a few months ago, didnt pass the test though. Might give it another go this time :)

    I sent an email to them yesterday and got an auto reply.

    How soon do you have to wait until you get the test sent to you?

    I'm stupidly excited, which is very silly and keep checking my emails!

    I sent them an email yesterday and got the application form and test pretty soon afterwards. Did the test last evening - it's not as easy as it looks. There's a lot of things in there to catch you out, so read all the rules very carefully. Just waiting to see now whether I made the grade. I hope so, as I really enjoyed just doing the test - totally my sort of thing!

    Good luck Susie.

    I sent my original email relatively late last night so I guess they'll get it this morning.

    Still stupidly excited ;)

    How long did it take them to get back to you with the application after the initial email?

    Good luck,
