In ADAS news, we share our latest Strategic Plan and information on our student surveys, and requirements for student diver medicals. We also share internal staff updates and a highlight from the annual ADAS Accredited Training Establishment (ATE) meeting held in Melbourne during August.
ADAS Updates May 2024
Along with a summary of ADAS activities we are excited to release the updated Revision Modules in ADAS-Online, which are publicly available for anyone who wants to brush up their skills to enter the diving industry or further their career.
Updated Revision Modules Live in ADAS-Online
Following feedback from ADAS schools and students, ADAS has updated the publicly available Revision Modules in ADAS-Online to a new, streamlined format using responsive software, to ensure the units will be accessible to users on all types of devices.
The content of the modules has not changed, apart from a few corrections, and each unit is linked to the same series of quizzes as previously, for which students can be awarded a certificate with grades as proof of completion.
The location of the Revision Modules in ADAS-Online has not changed, and you can view them here (ADAS-Online login required)
