Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to prepare a vehicle and drive over difficult terrain, including cross country and other off road situations. This involves the application of low risk driving techniques, dealing with hazards, and the assessment (where necessary) and the safe negotiation of obstacles, including water courses such as rivers and streams. The driver must be able to deal with contingencies related to an emergency that may occur in the hazardous situations that may be encountered in driving over difficult terrain under field conditions.This unit was developed for military drivers in a threat environment, but is applicable to any individuals who work in this field.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently or as part of a team, under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform complex tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency should be demonstrated over a time frame that allows for driving a vehicle over a variety of difficult terrain, encountering hazardous situations and applying contingency actions all under a range of field conditions. Competency should be assessed using a number of practical assessments of driving over difficult terrain including inclines and declines (to the rated capability of the vehicle), waterways, thick scrub, defiles, sand and soft bottoms. Individuals should be assessed in each of these environs and then collectively over a ‘vehicle run’ in which a number of the types of difficult terrain, including watercourses, are encountered requiring a contingency response. Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. |
