Exam status update
- Report on operation, # of exam takers, issues, etc. (Jürgen, Werner)
- So far one exam passed: Charles Parisot is the first :) (consent given for publication in these minutes)
- Charles's feedback:
- Registration for the exam
- Process is complex and has gaps, several different websites (GASQ, ProctorU, Exam site) involved
- Since price is given as "netto" price (which cannot be changed), the registration process ends up with more money to be paid after taxes are applied -> this can be received as a bad surprise
- Action item Wording on ihe.net website and in registratino process shall be enhanced, so that there is no "bad surprise" effect
- Exam itself
- Timing: 30min for Charles out of 1 hour -> seems to be ok
- Out of 40 questions:
- 14 questions needed deeper analysis
- Question/answers were unclear, ambiguous or mulitple answers could work or answers were not clear
- Comments were given in the exam as comments
- Only 4 out of the 5 sections of the Syllabus were covered by the exam questions
- Alexander: Questions for all sections are available, must be a randomizing or structuring issue in the exam
- Issue resolution
- Issue received about "Pin", which is asked, but not given. Reason was bad wording in GASQ registration email, reported to be fixed now
- Fixed
- Issue not fixed yet: There are things to do on the GASQ website, which have to be done first (registering and paying) in order to do the exam -> instructions are not complete
- Action item: GASQ to review the instructions by following the instructions (starting from the IHE website) and remove all gaps (Werner)
- Refer to Charles's emails from April 30, 23:25 and the ones resent on May 3rd, 15:25 and May 3rd, 15:28
- Feedback given on exam (see above)

Logo
- General FTP folder: Logo
- Formal decision on logo colors: Logo colors
- Decision: Based on the offline voting between blue and red, the final logo is the "blue" one
- Action item: Finalize logo (web version, print version, etc.) (Chris)
- including putting logo on website and transfer logo to Werner for finalization of certificate
Certificate
- General FTP folder: Certificates
- First draft version of certifiate
- Logo and feedback on Exam certificate has been/will be provided to Werner
- Action item: Provide second version of certificate based on logo and input given so far (Werner)
Processes Document
- General FTP folder: Processes
- Status and review of additions
- Clarification on the question: Who is the highest authority on the certificate?
- Option 1: GASQ (or any equivalent exam provider) is the highest authority for issuing certificates, which are all equivalent according the the agreed scheme of IHE
- Option 2: IHE is the highest authority for issuing certificates, and the exam providers are "just" the fulfillers and delivery of the certificate to the person
- Answer: According the ISO Standards it's option 1
- If you have an issue with your current exam, the exam provider is responsible for all issues (but acting on behalf of IHE)
- That's why the certificate is branded with the exam provider
- Even includes that in case of re-certification at another exam provider instead of the first one, this is seamless possible and does not break the "certified since ..." chain
- Action item: Provide next version of process document based on comments given (Werner)
