Certificate for English Test

As some of you are aware, I have been trying to get a certificate for the English Level Test we were forced to take back in July.

I'll tell you my story in the first place.

For a start, I am a British citizen, with a passport to prove it, therefore, I find forcing me to pay over 80€ for a test anyone can tell I don't need, really unsuitable. So I thought: Well, as far as I've had to pay and I don't have any certificates to prove my Engilsh without saying a word, I have the right to get one from University - I need to explain that people with certificates didn't need to take the exam, besides, previous year fellas didn't have to take it either.

So I went to the CUI (Centro Universitario de Idiomas) to apply for it, and they've had me moving around unsuccessfully. Last move has been this morning, when I've called and they've told me I wasn't to get any certificate, because that was just a level test in order to get access to the degree. I say this is horseshit. If it proves I have some mastery in English, then certificate it. Otherwise give me my money back.

Finally I've asked what should be the procedure to claim it or simply complain, and they have told me I need to go to Registro, and that is just what I'm about to do next week.

My question is, who would support and join me, hence we all try and get it?

I follow you o course. Some days ago I sent an email to Marta Gomez Gomez, who is the cordinator of our degree, with the intention to get some expanation and maybe a little help. But her answer was ''I know nothing about this, you should speak with CUI''. Anyway, I am really interested in the same as you, and almost all our classmates.

Thanks, Javi. I'm about to set off home and see if I can get on time to Registro to try at least to get some information about the procedure. Will be posting anything I achieve.
