Advocacy: Your Industry Voice

Since 1993, VASA has empowered specialists like you, providing a strong voice to shape policies, licensing and training standards at every level of government across Australasia. Today, VASA stands as a respected and influential advocate for the automotive air-conditioning, electrical and thermal management sectors – proudly representing you, championing professionalism, upholding environmental best practice and driving meaningful change across the industry.

Registered Technicians Program

VASA members have full online access to what is often called “the bible of air conditioning”, the seven-volume Registered Technicians Program (RTP).

It is regarded as the only complete training program covering all aspects of vehicle air conditioning system maintenance ever written. Many VASA members use RTP to train new recruits because there is nothing like it anywhere else.

RTP was developed by a special VASA technical committee and written by Australia’s foremost trainer in air conditioning repair and practice, Grant Hand of Automotive Training Solutions.

VASA membership is open to anybody in the automotive sector who is keen to stay at the forefront of their industry and abide by VASA’s Code of Service, a set of professional guidelines setting you apart from the cowboy operators.

Existing VASA members across Australasia include:

• Workshop owners
• Technicians
