On Monday 19 November 2007, City & Guilds introduced the new online shopping facility to an initial number of Walled Garden customers.

All online orders (such as candidate registrations and result entries) are now made using this facility including a number of new benefits for customers with the 'Exams' or 'MIS' profiles:

• Easy to use screens, designed to simulate other internet shopping websites
• Powerful search tools to help you find qualifications and candidates quickly 
• Real-time creation of candidate enrolment numbers
• The ability to group candidates into ‘cohort’ groups for easy ordering and tracking of orders
• The facility to submit and track EDI orders through the Data Services section

An online tutorial has been made available to explain the benefits of the system and to guide you through the new screens. We strongly recommend that you take the time to view this tutorial before placing your first order. 
 
Getting started:

1. Click on the new full Walled Garden tutorial, to view detailed demonstrations including 'Try It' yourself exercises.
2. When you are ready to place an actual order, log onto http://www.walled-garden.com/ .
3. Click on Catalogue/Shop on the top menu bar of the new Walled Garden. You will then be able to access the new Shopping basket and Cohort management functionality.
