Hi there,

I wonder if any of you can help on this one?

How long does it normally take AIDA to process Certification?

I understand that it's a small organisation and as such it will take time for these things but my payment for certification was sent on 10th May.

8 weeks seems like a long time - is this normal, or should I chase it up?:confused:

Thanks
 
The AIDA officer in charge of certifications resigned a few weeks ago so I am unsure who is doing it at the moment, if anyone.

Chase it up though, they need to be aware of the impact.

Cheers,
Ben
 
I believe he still does the certification. It was only one of his jobs at Aida that he resigned from. If I'm not distaken he wrote on another forum that he/they are back on schedule.

Ah, that's good to know - with all the resignations lately I wasn't sure who was doing what, and I imagine that card printers are not easy to ship around Europe.

Cheers,
Ben
