Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Instructional activities must be carried out in compliance with the relevant road transport law.
Work is performed without supervision. It involves the application of training competence and experience, professional heavy vehicle driver expertise, navigation skills, road law expertise, routine procedures and regulatory requirements to the development of safe heavy vehicle driving behaviour in others across a range of operational situations.
The development of safe heavy vehicle driving behaviours in others involves the application of adult learning principles, instructional methods and high-level safe heavy vehicle driving expertise to maintain the safe operation of an instructional vehicle across a variety of driving contexts.
Definition of a heavy vehicle (class LR, MR, HR, HC and MC) in this context is a 'vehicle greater than 4.5 tonnes GVM and also includes a vehicle seating more than 12 adults, including the driver'.
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required by heavy vehicle driving instructors to teach clients from diverse backgrounds how to develop and maintain safe heavy vehicle driving strategies. These strategies include recognising and dealing with behavioural barriers to learning, developing heavy vehicle control skills, interpreting and applying regulatory requirements and road laws, developing critical higher order skills such as hazard perception and responding appropriately, exercising risk management strategies that contribute to safe heavy vehicle driving techniques, and meeting community expectations. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
