The government would check over what the government does. Wouldn't it be nice for the government to say that the government is not doing its job properly and should stand down and have an immediate General Election.

Is anyone else confused ;-)

I'll just get my coat, the men who own a nice padded room are here.

I'm about to start my ITIL managers certificate next week and my colleagues have just done the exam last week. I also did my PRINCE2 foundation earlier this year. How could I be affected?

"APMG was unable to respond adequately to the deadline laid down by UKAS due to staff shortage during the summer."

Perhaps APMG should have hired someone in Mumbai - that's where all the qualified IT people are now.

Dear Chris

APMG is not accredited by UKAS for its ITIL activities so ITIL exams are not affected by the suspension.

For PRINCE2, you also remain unaffected. The only difference will be for people taking the exams in the interim period before accreditation is regained, their certificates won't feature a UKAS logo.

For a full statement from Richard Pharro, APMG's managing director, please visit the press centre at www.apmgroup.co.uk

Anyone with queries should email APMG at servicedesk@apmgroup.co.uk

Regards

Kate Winter, Press Officer, APMG

Now why are none of us surprised by this?
