i,ve recently taken and passed my stage3 but was very shocked at how ill mannered some of the candidates were.when told by an examiner that perhaps their lungeing wasn,t up to scratch and that their horse wasn,t worked all they could do was slag of the examiner to the rest of our group.its very sad how some people have no ability to accept constructive critisim.i thought the examiners were very good(and not just because i passed,i was convinced i,d failed and nearly had a heart attack when i got my certificate!)

Know exactly what U mean ,
it's hardly surprising the BHS stopped giving results on the day.
Even if candidates do not like / agree with what an examiner has said / done they should put their concerns in writing and go through the official complaints procedures. I wonder how many would still complain / winge to their mates if they could see a video replay of how they performed ???
I've seen a few in the past who would swear blind they had done something perfectly when the faults were glaringly obvious - they just did'nt want to accept them !
Perhaps that will be next ?? CCTV footage of exams to be used as evidence in court !?!?! lol
