I passed my CS30 yesterday

Hi all
I had the best day ever yesterday . I did my CS30 test yesterday and passed . I am so pleased I had been working my sox off every single day over the last few weeks to get the whole assessment schedule in to my memory .

All the hard work paid off as I went went through the questions The cross cutting went well to . Really pleased now its done . now I have a new assessment schedule to learn .

Eastwater

Re: I passed my CS30 yesterday

There sure is allot to learn ,some of the sections have 10 or 11 points on them . It took me weeks of going though it again and again I spent some time each morning and 1 hour each night on the schedual I decided to try and learn it like learning play lines for stage . It was a really slow process for me, I some weeks ago I thought I would never get it all in but as time when on I was able to remember more of it each day .

boy I am happy its done .

Can anyone tell me does the cert only last for 3 years ? Do you have to do another test to keep it valid ? or is it for life

Thanks Eastwater
