Assessor Cap
Absa recently put a cap on the amount assessors to trained and registered. In the Green Loans newsletter thay said:
'A letter was sent to all trainers today advising them of a temporary moratorium on HSAS certification. ABSA needs to represent the interests of its current members and this extends to monitoring the numbers of assessors and addressing un-serviced areas. In determining a course of action ABSA considered advice from DEWHA and decided to apply a temporary moratorium on the certification of new assessors. Noting there are geographic areas not yet being serviced by assessors there will be an exception to the moratorium – being for assessors intending to work in geographic areas that are not currently serviced to be determined and communicated by DEWHA'.
'ABSA has advised all HSA trainers that as of 24 December 2009, it will cease processing applications for certification for Home Sustainability Assessors for the Green Loan Program until further notice – with the exception of assessors intending to work in currently un-serviced areas'.
