This looks like a great idea. Especially useful for people working on the same course for several weeks from all over. Hopefully it'll help the candidates pass. Would be great to have an article on it on my site when you've all finished - you can submit them to the magazine on my site at http://www.actionfinder.co.uk/articles.
