Re: Banking

Re: ACS assessment - MCSE ( Please HELP!)

I would agree here - MS do still recognise the NT4 MCSE as valid. There was a war when they originally said they would retire the qual so they left it as is. I wouldn't have thought you would have...

Re: Christmas Crackers!!!??

You're not allowed them on a plane, don't know about containers though. I would definitely check with the shipping agent as they could be classed as an explosive - well if there were enough of them!

Re: October 2005 Skilled 136 applicants Non-modl

Re: DVLA - probably daft question...

Thanks for all your answers everyone. Looks like I'll just use a relatives address and get it changed.
