I am now setting up my own testing station as i am moving into new premises. being installed next week.
the paperwork side of the application was a pain as they want to know so much but once approved in principal vosa have been quite helpful.
I am putting in a class 7 ATL all Sun equipment cost close to 30k. The first one in Norfolk to be going live. have already been told to expect additional visits from vosa to see how it all works and how i am getting on with it.
Class 5 lightweight can only be done on a 7 lift but have to be applied for and additional training after you are operational doing 7's. It was vosa who recommended i done 5 as well i was just going to do 4 & 7 they calim there is a shortage of stations for these and it will aslo put me in good stead to become a taxi testing station for the council.
