It is intended to make the practical test booking process for ADIs easier and less cumbersome than it is at present (even getting on it is a nightmare with the existing system). The launch will take place in two stages.<\/p>\n<p>The first (at the end of 2012) is for trainer bookers. These can book multiple tests for both named and unnamed candidates. The second stage is for other businesses \u2013 ADIs and PDIs \u2013 so that they can book tests.<\/p>\n<p>The main benefit that I can see from the email is that you\u2019ll be able to look at all available test slots without having to enter the details of the candidate. This is a major step forward. You\u2019ll also be able to get notifications of slot cancellations \u2013 potentially, an even bigger step forward.<\/p>\n<p>The email doesn\u2019t appear to be available as a web page, so I won\u2019t copy the whole thing here.
