Attention ITSSAR Category 1 Instructors: The 6-Month Grace Period is Gone!

Is your ITSSAR instructor registration clock ticking down this year? If you are a Category 1 Instructor, it’s time to check your dates and plan ahead because critical changes are now in full effect.
Recent updates from the Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register (ITSSAR) have brought an important rule change that every instructor needs to be aware of: the old 6-month grace period is officially a thing of the past.
