il,
we are in the process of transferring over to the new study design material=
on
our website (should be available next week). If we post information relating=
to
both the current and the reaccredited study design, there is a potential for
confusion and problems. As has always been the practice, when we are at the=
end
of an accreditation period for a study design, we wait until the examination=
s
have been completed and then we begin the transferring process (backstage),=
in
readiness for the reaccredited study design. I appreciate your frustrations,
but it’s a temporary problem. So, just like the current situation, all
material that is relevant to the reaccredited study design will be housed
together on the website, so it will be a one-stop-shop and your stress level=
s
won’t be unduly raised.</span></font></p>
