Unit of Competency TLIC3036 - Apply safe car driving behaviours
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required for higherorder safe driving. This unit applies to driving instructors required to apply safe driving behaviours.This includes higherorder skills involving broad cognitive, technical, communication and vehicle management. It also requires knowledge about hazard perception, risk control and safe driving behaviour, judgement, decision making and multi-tasking, that builds on driver licence requirements across a range of vehicles and driving situations. Safe car driving behaviours are applied without supervision. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations in a vehicle typical of that used in industry and on a variety of road conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, Australian Road Rules, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools and equipment currently used in industry

suitable vehicle that meets state/territory requirements.
