TA411 ATA VDA RETAKES
DURATION 1 day(s)
INTENDED FOR Delegates that have been referred after taking the Vehicle Damage Assessor ATA (TA4)
OBJECTIVES To complete ATA Accreditation
NOTE We have designed this particular session for any candidates that have been on an ATA and referred. However it is only available for candidates who have been referred on one or two practical elements.

If a candidate has been referred on three or more practical elements, they will be required to resit a whole new assessment from scratch and would therefore need to apply to attend the TA4P sessions.

To ensure currency of assessments the IMI have stated that no more that 12 months may elapse between the first assessment and the last successful assessment. Therefore once the 12 month period has expired, a delegate will be required to commence all elements of their chosen assessment from the beginning. We would like to advise that for VDA the 12 month period will commence from the first time the on-line test is activated.

The price of this assessment will vary depending on the elements that the individual delegate needs to retake. Please discuss the price with our ATA team on 01635 294851
