Please note that the URL for the commercial version of the WAMMI service is www.wammi.com. The commercial site has a lot of background information about WAMMI which is also useful for study purposes.

If you want to use WAMMI for commercial purposes, please go to the wammi.com site.

Educators and trainers are encouraged to refer to the wammi.com site in their teaching notes.

I encourage students and educators to use the academic WAMMI service for teaching and research. The report you will get as a student or educator is exactly the same as the report a commercial client would get from the WAMMI service but if you are able to establish your academic credentials no charge is made for the service.

Student use

If you are a student, you may apply to use WAMMI on a student project. This must be a bona fide student project solely for academic purposes.

Although you are encouraged to publish your findings, under no circumstances may your WAMMI results be wholly or partly sold to a third party client. I require a letter (which you may scan and e-mail to me) from your tutor, supervisor, or head of department on official headed notepaper, with the following text:

[Name] is a student at [name and address of department] and I guarantee that [his or her] usage of WAMMI is solely for research purposes, and forms part of [his or her] research leading to [name of degree or certification for which the work is intended]. I guarantee that the student is not working in a consultancy or internship relationship with any commercial interest as far as their use of WAMMI is concerned, and that I will help the student to take reasonable steps to protect the intellectual property rights and copyright of WAMMI.

[Your name and position in the department]

[Your signature and date]

Please go to the application for student usage page, and fill out as much as you can so that I can see what kind of project you're intending to use WAMMI for (I hope it doesn't look too bureaucratic.)

Tutor use

If you are a tutor or lecturer, you may also apply to use WAMMI on a class exercise for teaching purposes. Please send me an email outlining your proposed usage of WAMMI.
