Guide Notes on Registering Nominated Testers
3
An NT’s name may be included on the VT26 at more than VTS. A new VT26 will be sent to all appropriate VTSs if an NT is subject to cessation as a result of disciplinary proceedings. An AE wishing to add an NT to their current VT26 must follow the procedure set out in Section E1 paragraph 4 and add the Nts name on to the VT26 until a replacement VT26 is issued. Even if the NT is still testing at another VTS, an AE cannot rely on another AE to ensure continuing competence and familiarity with equipment and to keep the NT up to date. The AE of each VTS is responsible for any breach of the standards for the tests at their own VTS, regardless of the contractual arrangements with their NT’s

If an NT moves to another VTS, the Personnel Manager or Site Manager of that VTS must register the NT for that VTS via their VTS Device. The system will check the suitability between NT and VTS and the NT’s current status. The system will either confirm or reject the registration. AEs are advised that once an NT is registered on their VTS, the NT is able to produce his own Personnel Information Report which will show any disciplinary action. The NT is under no obligation to show the AE this complete record, however an AE can see the NT’s history for the period he is associated to their VTS. It is the AE’s responsibility to ensure that all NT’s on their VT26 remain fully competent, fully familiar with the equipment at the particular VTS and are up to date with any changes. AEs cannot assume that a previous AE has done this. The NT may commence testing after he has been assigned using the VTS Device and his name added to the current VT26. A replacement VT26 will automatically be produced by the system and must be displayed promptly upon receipt.

I started MOT Testing in the late 1990’s, taking a a short break, I resumed in 2004. Since that time I have been an Authorised Examiner and Nominated tester. I have not had any appeals against the Company or any Nominated Tester including myself during that time. I hold a clean driving licence, covering HGV Class 1 and Motorcycles.
I have no criminal convictions or warnings.
