Better late.............

Hi everyone,

Just a little bit behind schedule with the blog, but as you probably guessed, it's the vacation season and so Master Blogger is currently away from his perch!!

That's not actually the reason why there was no blog last week - the real reason was that I couldn't remember the password to access the site - so now you know. However, I have just reset it and am currently considering whether to advise a certain person of the new password!

Anyway, thing are quite hectic following the recent issue of the exam results, with a number of calls coming in re new studies, a few moans and groans and even a few tears - shame!!

Talking about the exams, the Chartered Banker online situation is moving quite fast now, with five exams (UK Financial Services, Investment, CRM, ORM and Credit Risk Practice already available. Two more will shortly be on, being Call Centre Management and Financila Economics. No it's not a deliberate spelling mistake, but I just wanted to share how I always type that word FINANCIAL! Annoying or what!

Other than that, there is plenty going on at the CIOBS. Our website is getting a makeover and should be up an running soon(ish). It should be a lot slicker and easier to navigate and, if my request has been heard, (probably not) this blog will be located within the new site and it is the intention to give it a facelift too - we might even allow our two regular visitors (my mum and and unknown person) to make comments - but then again.....

Anyway, I'm going now, it's time I got cracking with the updates to all the Regulatory subjects and the two related Chartered Banker subjects so that these can be issued and the exam banks updated in time for October 1st when the changes take effect.

Have a good week - I may even see you later in the week (not physically, unless you're my mum).

Cheers.

Raymond
