Release 1.  This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct car driver training.

It includes preparing for car driver training, demonstrating and instructing required skills, techniques and monitoring and maintaining low risk car driving skills of car drivers. It also includes interpreting and applying road rules, debriefing car drivers, identifying hazardous situations and implementing contingency plans.

This unit applies to car driving trainers.
