Unit of Competency TLILIC2014 - Licence to drive a light rigid vehicle
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to obtain a licence to drive a light rigid vehicle. It includes systematically and efficiently controlling all vehicle functions, monitoring traffic and road conditions, managing vehicle condition and performance, and effectively managing hazardous situations. Types of light rigid vehicles include: a rigid truck above 4.5 tonnes GVM but less than or equal to 8 tonnes GVM or a rigid bus with less than or equal to 8 tonnes GVM or seats more than 12 adults, including the driver.Assessment of this unit will be undertaken within a licensing examination conducted by, or under the authority of, the relevant state/territory driver licensing authority.This unit applies to driving that is carried out in accordance with relevant state/territory driver licensing authority licence requirements and regulations for light rigid vehicles.Driving is performed with limited or minimum supervision, and with limited accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes.Driving involves the application of routine vehicle driving principles and procedures to maintain safety and to operate a light rigid vehicle across a variety of driving contexts.The primary legislative requirements applicable to this unit of competency are state/territory legislation in relation to road use and driver licensing.This unit addresses the knowledge and skills necessary for the granting of a Light Rigid Driver Licence.Being awarded this unit of competency is a necessary requirement to obtain a Light Rigid Driver Licence but is only one of several criteria. Prospective licence applicants should check with the state/territory driver licensing authority for other criteria (such as licence tenure and medical fitness) to confirm other eligibility requirements before undertaking training and/or assessment.
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.

Practical driving aspects must be assessed in a vehicle typical of the class as approved by the state/territory driver licensing authority. The use of simulators for driver testing is not permitted.

The assessor must use the mandatory assessment tool provided by the state/territory driver licensing authority to conduct the assessment for this unit, in accordance with licensing authority requirements

The state/territory driver licensing authority may prescribe approved routes, which must be used for the final assessment.

Assessment must occur in the following traffic and road conditions:

on open and/or private roads with moderate inclines and declines

typical weather conditions.

and may also include traffic and road conditions at a depot, base or warehouse.

Resources for assessment include:

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

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

appropriate range of relevant on-road operational or workplace situations

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
