All Delta Society Pet Partners
must be re-tested for Skills & Aptitude every 2 years
In order to assure that Pet Partners maintain suitability for AAA/T work Delta Society requires that all teams be re-tested every 2 years. This is an important element of our program. While we hope that 2 years of AAA/T visiting experience will maintain or improve our working relationship with our Pet Partners this is, unfortunately, not always the case. Frequently we fall back into old habits of complacency &/or forget the required criteria for being a safe and effective Pet Partners volunteer team. Other times, our Pet Partners may be burnt out or we may take time off from visiting and not realize the impact our time away has had on our Skills & Aptitude. The aging process can also have a significant impact on our Pet Partners' suitability and we may lack the objectivity to fully appreciate how relevant those changes may be to our AAA/T work. Your 2 year re-test is not merely a formality. The same criteria applies for experienced volunteers as for new ones. Consistent participation without incident is not a guarantee for your 2-year re-test success so please take your Skills & Aptitude re-test preparation seriously.
