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 develop low risk car driving behaviours in others.

It includes demonstrating applicable low risk car driving rules, regulations and strategies to drivers delivering training on low risk car driving principles and monitoring and maintaining low risk car driving behaviours of drivers. It also includes evaluating drivers on their low risk car driving competence, reviewing evaluation of driver low risk car driving competence, dealing with behavioural barriers to learning, developing vehicle operation and control skills, and interpreting and applying regulatory requirements and road law expertise.

It also includes developing higher-order cognitive and technical skills, such as hazard perception, correctly reading a driving environment and responding appropriately, exercising risk management strategies that contribute to low risk car driving behaviours, and meeting community expectations.

This unit applies to car driving instructors.

Work is performed without supervision. Developing low risk car driving behaviours in others involves the application of learning principles for different cohorts, instructional methods, training competence and experience, higher-order car driving expertise, navigation skills, road law expertise, routine procedures and regulatory requirements across a range of operational situations and a variety of driving contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
