The Green Paper is expected sometime around June 2013. Dib-Unite will respond after consulting with its members
Check Tests / Standards Check
Over the last couple of weeks there has been quite a few local ADI meetings with DSA officials. The purpose of the meetings was for the DSA to present the new paperwork with regards to the new Standards Check.
Unfortunately the DSA officials were not able to do the presentation of the paperwork as it is still under revision. This made the meeting a bit pointless, however I’m sure many instructors had the opportunity to ask question and receive answers.
These changes are due to be implemented in April 2014; if the paperwork still needs signing off when is the new paperwork going to be trialled; then we need all the examiners trained plus ADI’s need informing.
DSA train their examiners by the use of role play. This seems incompatable with DSA current thinking. If you read last months e-newletter you will be aware that DSA plan to stop role play on Ct's.
April 2014 is not that far away, DSA need to get their collective fingers out.
