ACE-IT has been running for 6 months now and to celebrate we are running 4 weeks of weekly competitions in the run up to Easter. We have had a lot of useful feedback from those of you who have used the tool and as we are building the question bank on a continual basis we are keen for it to become a key part of all ACE users work activities.

 

In just under 4 weeks it is Easter and for those who enjoy free chocolate might like to know that we are offering a prize of a large Hotel Chocolat Easter egg to the first person to score 100% on an ACE-IT exercise and send us a screen shot of their results page. Each competition will also have two runner up prizes of Hotel Chocolat goodies. You will need to send us your results using the new online Help Desk system within ACE.  Entries will NOT be accepted via any other method.

 

There will be 4 weekly competitions, in the run up to Easter, with a new one starting each week commencing on Monday 2nd 9th 16th 23rd March and running until 5pm on the Friday of each week.

 

All you need to do is complete an ACE-IT exercise and if you get a score of 100%, take a screen shot of your completion/results screen (see example below) and send this to the Federation, using the new online ACE Helpdesk and add the subject line of ‘Eggciting Easter’.

There will be 3 weekly competitions, in the run up to Christmas, with a new one starting each week commencing on Monday 1^st, 8^th and 15^th December and running until 5pm on the Friday of each week.

ACE-IT was launched this week and we’d like to thank everyone who has taken time to register and use our on-line training and assessment tool.

 

We’ve added an additional 100 evidence examples today. This will ensure each exercise is varied and offers a different experience of the most diverse range of evidence currently available.

 

If you have not yet registered to use ACE-IT and would like to, please click on on the following link
www.ace-it.org.uk.

 

ACE-IT has been designed to help support all ACE users in correctly identifying acceptable forms of evidence, which are required to be submitted as part of all Apprenticeship Completion Certificate claims on ACE. The new tool also clarifies and highlights why certain types of learner achievement evidence are unacceptable and, if submitted, will be rejected.

 

For information on how to register for an ACE IT account and on how to complete a training exercise, please read the instructions on the ACE IT Hompage carefully.

 

Should you require further support please contact us.
