Premature pass
• Our information last week that 13 students at Bromsgrove College of Further Education had qualified for the Diploma in Road Transport Engineering was apparently premature. The College advises us that before the results will be finally known the examination papers have to be moderated by IRTE. This will be the first time this has happened. Final results are not now expected for about six weeks.
