TLIM4003
Develop safe motorcycle riding behaviours in others


Application

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to teach learner riders from diverse backgrounds how to develop, monitor and maintain safe motorcycle riding strategies and behaviours. This unit applies to motorcycle riding instructors.

It includes recognising and dealing with behavioural barriers to learning, developing motorcycle operation and control skills, and interpreting and applying regulatory requirements and road law expertise.

It also includes developing higherorder cognitive and technical skills such as hazard perception, correctly reading a riding environment and responding appropriately, exercising risk management strategies that contribute to safe motorcycle riding behaviours, and meeting community expectations.

Work is performed without supervision. Developing safe motorcycle riding behaviours in others involves the application of adult learning principles, instructional methods, training competence and experience, higherorder motorcycle rider expertise, navigation skills, road law expertise, routine procedures and regulatory requirements across a range of operational situations and a variety of riding contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
