I'm currently studying towards some CII qualifications anyone else done this?

Finding it very hard going, no problem understanding the principles etc just it's very boring.

I hold a Cert CII, the trick is to go for the FIT cert, then choose the 3 easy multiple choice exams, i didnt do any of the course work and blagged exams its a doodle. 25% change of guessing right on every question so even if you dont know still in with a chance. there is always one answer that is blantely wrong.

I am working towards the ACII now.

I do find it quite interesting actually.

The first lot of exams are really easy but some of the compulsory exams for the Diploma and Advanced Diploma stages get a bit more tricky.

Gone are the days when the FPC was just FPC 1, 2 & 3.

You have to do loads of exams to get it now!

I'm old skool.

The CII probably wrote and told me but I was too busy in a fit of depression at my inability to have an interesting life as a fat ginger mincer to open the envelope.

All you need to do is befriend a chimney sweep.
