TLIM0001 - Conduct learner driver training
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to teach learner drivers from diverse backgrounds how to prepare, explain, demonstrate, monitor and maintain safe car driving skills. This unit applies to car driving instructors.
It includes preparing a learner for driving, explaining driver training outcomes, demonstrating required skills, monitoring and maintaining safe driving skills, interpreting and applying road rules, debriefing learner driver, identifying hazardous situations and implementing contingency plans.
Work is performed without supervision. Learner driver training involves the application of adult learning principles, instructional methods training competence and experience, higher-order car driving expertise, navigation skills, road law expertise, routine procedures and regulatory requirements across a range of operational situations and a variety of driving contexts.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
