To advise the AE or responsible person about VOSA's next round of risk assessments.

Content
The course will cover all issues relating to the station's requirements. Our Risk Assessment Advisor will spend one morning carrying out a complete survey (as conducted by a VE). One afternoon will be spent with a CVTS Advisor, who will report his findings, highlight any areas of concern and recommend any actions that need to be taken. CVTS will supply a station log and will help your station to complete this to VOSA requirements.

Assessment
The CVTS Advisor will revisit the station with any updates and will check whether his advice has been acted upon. He will also help if there's a shortfall.
