I am already prince 2 qualified and have seen that there is a course for Prince 2 holders to get the APM qualification. Has anyone here done that course? and if so what does it...- chalced

decision time
After much deliberation and consultation with the wife (and the contract company), I have decided to go with the contract as they have offered 3 years if I want it!. It's not Saudi - It's Jamaica! and the wife will be able to join me next year. When I do the maths (bearing in mind that I will...- chalced

Good question... just going thro the pro's and con's of each offer out loud really as I'm not sure which way to jump... I have been contracting for 14 years and going back to permie would be quite a shock, but this day and age with contracts in short supply (at least in my field) it might be the...- chalced

Other thing to consider is that the permie role is an hour and half travel up the M6 and back again each day (about £120 in fuel and tolls each week!) until I can relocate (which wouldn't be till later next year)- chalced

Not seeing 1T external hard drive
My 1T USB3 (western digital) external hard drive stopped being recognised by my laptop a little while ago. I have tried downloading several 'fix' softwares, but to no effect. If I change the OS to linux then it 'sees' the HD, but still cannot access it. I think perhaps the boot sector of the... -

contracting abroad for UK agency
The contract is finishing next year, so I will be returning to the UK then. I have retained my UK address as this contract was only going to be for 12-18 months. The work I do is outside of the IR35 remit, so no problem there :cool: Not sure about the P85 form tho??!! Wasn't sure that the tax...- chalced

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the tax implications were for this scenario... I am a UK Ltd. company, working for a UK agency, but working full time in Africa. I have a UK residence, but am only there for about 10 weeks of the year. I get paid a mixture of set monthly wages (plus...- chalced
