Medical Training Solutions No Longer Delivering ADAS Training
Medical Training Solutions (MTS), located in Perth, Western Australia, is no longer delivering ADAS accredited Diver Medical Technician (DMT) training. As of 8 February 2023, MTS elected to opt-out of continuing as an Accredited Training Establishment (ATE) and are no longer available to students wishing to undertake either full or refresher DMT courses.
Although this reduces the number of DMT training facilities, there continue to be two schools in Australia delivering ADAS DMT full and refresher courses:
- Commercial Dive Academy in Launceston, Tasmania
- Underwater Training Centre SA in Burra, South Australia
