Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to lead and supervise dependent participants during four wheel driving activities in a range of conditions according to predetermined activity plans which might be self-developed or developed by others. It covers the skills required to adjust activities according to prevailing conditions and participant capabilities.
It requires the ability to demonstrate and instruct a range of techniques associated with four wheel driving. This might involve driving, basic maintenance, vehicle recovery and operation of ancillary equipment. To do this, leaders must be proficient in four wheel driving and ancillary skills which are covered by other units.
This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.
It applies to leaders who work independently using discretion and judgement to manage operational logistics and risk within predetermined guidelines.
When working at or close to base and assistance, they manage routine problems in consultation with relevant personnel. Where assistance is not immediately available, leaders use additional skills, covered by other units, to manage significant problems, e.g. rescues, injury or illness in remote locations.
Driving is regulated by specific laws in each Australian state and territory with variable rules. All training and assessment activities must comply with the local state or territory road rules and driver licensing requirements. This unit assumes the driver has knowledge of applicable road rules which do not need to be assessed.
