This year the WIA has been considering training of amateurs for activities associated with emergency communications preparedness.

From the feedback received, the Board considered that a national accredited training system was an essential element in the broad range of issues associated with emergency communications provided by amateur operators. In association with the WIA’ s Recognised Training Organisation (RTO), TrainSafe, a nationally recognised training package has now been developed. The WIA Board has prepared a statement on “where it is at” in the development of the training package and a summary of feedback and issues.
