Unit of Competency TLIC3038A - Apply safe motorcycle riding behaviours
Description This unit involves the high-level safe riding skills and knowledge required by motorcycle riders to enable them to apply safe riding behaviours. This includes higher order skills, such as hazard perception, risk control and safe riding judgement, decision making and multi-tasking. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit is required by motorcycle riding instructors and covers higher order riding skills and knowledge that build upon basic rider licence requirements.Safe riding behaviours must be able to be applied without supervision. This involves the application of higher order riding skills, such as hazard perception, judgement, decision making, multi-tasking, risk control and safe riding attitudes across a range of motorcycles and riding situations.Definition of a motorcycle (class R) in this context is a 'two or three wheel motorcycle/motorbike'.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
