A surprise bonus!
As and when they become available, software upgrades to AVSA Pro 1.8A, are given as per the license agreement.
This week saw me racing to Midrand to meet my trainer and AVSA Pro distributor, Cliff Coetzee of POLY- VSA Institute of Training from Tulbach, Cape Province. It was just my luck that he was here in Gauteng for training of new examiners.
There were some processes of the system that were so advanced that I didn't know how to utilize them to their full potential - I wanted to understand and incorporate these features into my daily test processes - Selecting appropriate Protocol sets I would be able to archive results faster while not compromising on accuracy.
While there, to my surprise he informed me that an upgrade to certain other features has just become available and that he would install these there & then! The installation process and test-run took a few minutes, but once installed I was on my way home - over and done with in shorter time that it took to get to the B & B where he stayed and trained.
The upgraded features included cadence allotment - a very important factor allowing the homeostasis to return to normal before the next question is fired...
AND
quick, effective archiving of AVSA tests in the same sequence as the examinee details. AVSA now automatically saves these recordings and results without the examiner having to select where to file them - which is GREAT! The saving of the examinee detail determines the route of saving the sound files - very nifty!
So, I can proudly say that while accuracy and efficacy has always been a priority for me, I am now able to provide an even more fluent service to clients - they may not feel the difference in the service they receive BUT I certainly feel the difference in providing it!

It's week-end again!
Another week of Detecting Deception has come to an end, and it has been a week of learning again - I am always open to gaining more insight into doing a better examination - this week I re-discovered how important correct question formulation is. Well formulated, short & direct Relevant Questions are the way to obtaining clear, valid results.

August - a bumper month for test numbers!
Wow! What a fantastic month it's been for work volume - 174 examinations completed!
It meant I had a few appointments at night and also very early morning to conduct VSA's with personnel before they went on to work their shifts.
A number were Screenings (a technique used as part of an Honesty Management Program), the majority were IZCT tests (Single Issue Technique), while there were a few MGQT examinations (Multiple Issue Technique).
Earning potential with this number of tests is great but doesn't allow much time for administration - Issuing Reports with Invoices and following up on outstanding payments had to take place 'after hours' - But I suppose there isn't anything like 'after hours' when you're Self Employed!
