Chartership Question

Hi All,

I have a question about sending in a Chartership portfolio - how long does it usually take to get something beyond the 'we have received your portfolio response'? I sent mine in at the end of last year, then chased it up in mid-January (I was told I would have a response 'soon') but still nothing on whether it has passed or failed, or needs to be redone or what. Is this normal or should I start making a nuisance of myself trying to find out what's happened - if for no other reason than to save my nails from being bitten to the quick waiing to hear (not a very professional look for a service industry!). Any advice very gratefully received.

Training advice

Hi,

I'm looking for a training course in writing for the web (i.e. writing webpage content & choosing images, but not actually designing the webpage) & am having difficulty finding a valid course provided by a reputable company. I've checked with CILIP, Renaissance(MLA), etc & so far they don't have any suitable courses so I've tried doing google searches, which results in 100s of webpages for companies I've never heard of. Most of them are probably perfectly respectable companies & the courses would probably be really useful but as I don't have anything to compare them against I've got no idea how to narrow the list down. Does anyone out there know of any web content training courses, or any training companies that you've used that might be worth checking? Thanks.

Certificate

Hi All,

Happy New Year!

Has everyone else received their certificate now because mine still hasn't appeared?

I'm back at work after the long Xmas holiday and faced with a massive backlog of work as well as new stuff coming in all the time - anyone ever feel like your stuck in a hamster wheel, running really fast just to stay in the same place.
On the brightside I did manage to finish my Chartership portfolio & send it off by Xmas. I sent it special delivery so I know it was definitely signed for, but I haven't heard anything since - does anyone have any idea when they usually acknowledge receipt, or how long it takes for the assessment to be completed?
