WIA Releases New Assessment Packs and New Assessment Instructions

The WIA has released Assessment Packs for the Practical Assessment taken alone and not part of a Foundation Assessment, Standard Theory Assessment Packs, Standard/Advanced Regulations Assessment Packs and will release shortly the Advanced Theory Assessment Pack.

This means that WIA Assessors can conduct all levels of the amateur operators certificate of proficiency examinations, the qualifications for each of the three grades of amateur licence, with the candidates being given their results on the spot by the WIA Assessor.

With arrangements almost finalised to train more WIA Assessors in North Queensland, South Queensland, Sydney and Melbourne in the very near future, it is anticipated that the assessment system will continue to be very busy.

All of these changes have made a further and quite extensive revision of the WIA Exam Service�s Assessment Instructions necessary. In addition, new and hopefully simpler forms have been introduced.

The revised Instructions have been sent today to each WIA Assessor, and it will be placed on the WIA website shortly.

The continued development of the WIA Assessment system has involved a great deal of work by a number of people, said WIA President Michael Owen, VK3KI.

"But what is important is that the clubs and the trainers encourage the new Foundation licensees to aspire to the Standard licence and then to the Advanced licence. Hopefully, this will encourage that."
