VOSA have asked us to post in here the details of the upcoming seminars. All information has been lifted from Special Notice 05 2012. What they didn't include that the buffet is included in the price and normally they are damn good.

The next round of MOT Seminars starts on 7th January 2013. As always this is a great opportunity for anyone involved in the MOT trade to find out about the latest changes to the scheme as well sharing ideas and feedback with members of VOSA's scheme management team. Whether you are the Authorised Examiner, Site Manager, Quality Controller or Nominated Tester at your garage, the upcoming changes will affect you so make sure you book your place early.

For those of you who have never attended seminars, these events are an informal way of providing you with up to date information on planned changes to the scheme. As well as reporting back to you on recent changes, we will also give you an insight into what we are looking at for the future. It is also a great opportunity to talk to other garages in your area, to spread best practice and talk about local issues in a relaxed and informal environment. Each seminar will include ample time for question and answer sessions, giving you the chance to air your views and put questions to senior VOSA staff.

Seminar content includes:

All the latest news on the MOT scheme

EU Directive 2010/48/EU – where are we up to, and before you think we were ready - another EU regulation is on the horizon which could shake things up again!

MOT Comp 2 – 2015 isn’t far off now so what can you expect to see, come and give us your thoughts on the proposals – its your system.

Disciplinary Review – time for change, the present system has been around for a while and we are looking to update things, come and discuss with policy experts.

If anything is still unclear to you, the seminars are an ideal opportunity to find out more.

The evening’s schedule will be:
18:45 Buffet
19:30 Presentation & QA
20:30 Tea and coffee
20.45 Presentation & QA
21.30 Final QA Session
22:00 Finish

The price of a ticket to the MOT Seminars is £30.00 inc VAT per person. To book your place please ring 0300 123 9000 with your card payment details or alternatively print and fill in the form on the Special Notice and send with your cheque to VOSA.

We are sending all our MOT training staff on the seminars and once we have spent some time to research further any questions queries and translated some elements into English!!! We will host our own seminars in March free to attend free BBQ and as we both train MOT testers and have our own MOT station we can often give clarity on a lot of the subjects. if all ok with the admin team i will post the dates of our seminars on here and our website once we have confirmed the dates.

let us know if you are interested so i can get some idea of numbers

Not much filtering through here for discussion. Any reason? (not been on mine yet) And, were 'advisories' touched on by any chance?

The one I attended in Oxford was a bit disappointing compared to previous years, not really a great deal of content. Main issue was MOT comp2 in 2015. The old advisories to become the new failurs beginning of April, 7th or 8th I think it is. Food was excellent, that's the main thing

Hi guys
My boss Iain at Premier MOT has asked me to keep you posted about our forthcoming seminars dates concerning the outcome of VOSA's seminars and which way forward everything is going!
our seminars are going to be March 4th at our North West centre 7pm Garage Equipment House, 10 Bassendale Road, Bromborough, Wirral, CH62 3QL and at our South East centre, 13 Eldon Way, Hockley, Essex SS5 4AD.
They are, of course free of charge and there will be refreshments.
We will be concentrating on the ongoing changes within VOSA, particularly the inolvement of Motor Codes and the ongoing compliance values and especially the Self Assessment process.
I'm sure that all will be interested with our findings and everyone is welcome to discuss these items without being in the confine and presence of VOSA, though they are always more than welcome to attend and contribute.
As IMI Member Associations for the Essex area and Merseyside, CPD points are available for all attending.
We look forward to seeing as many people attending as possible so spread the word. None IMI members are, of course more than welcome.
These seminars are for productive discussions and comments, so let's make the effort.
Further details are available on our website www.premiermot.com
To allow for numbers we would appreciate if those who would like to attend to contact us, me Paul on 07843 904485 or paulh@premiermot.com and or Andy 07925 974324 premiermot@ymail.com
