Work is performed under supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to demonstrate awareness of interacting with other road users as part of driving activities across a variety of operational contexts within Australia.

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:

applying the underpinning knowledge and skills

identifying other road users

showing an understanding of rules and regulations as they apply to road users

demonstrating an understanding of the purpose of road rules

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and

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

Method of assessment

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate assessments using written/practical/oral assessments

Practical assessment must occur:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations

Simulators are not suitable for final assessment of this unit of competency
