THEORY COMPONENT
This component is carried out using simple manuals and workbooks. Once you have enrolled with Academy of Road Safety, you will receive training materials via email, as well as contact information for your trainer. This component can be completed in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace.
It is finished by reading the manuals and working through the workbooks. Each of the 12 assignments will take between 8 and 12 hours to complete. If you have any questions or concerns about the e-training units, your trainer is always available to assist you.
You can complete this component at your own pace; however, please keep in mind that the entire training must be completed within 12 months of enrolment.
PRACTICAL COMPONENT
Practical sessions are scheduled in accordance with the National Training Standard for TLI41221 - Certificate IV in Transport and Logistics (Road Transport – Car Driving Instruction).
Practical training is done in-car, in an area agreed upon by you and your trainer.
Practical training is competency-based, and applicants' average number of hours depends on how much study they do in their own time. The more home practise you do, the fewer hours you will need with your trainer.
Clients from rural NSW and interstate are not required to travel to Sydney for training. We will send one of our trainers to your location to conduct the hands-on (on-the-job) training. The course fee for country NSW and other states and territories is higher to cover the trainer's travel time and lodging expenses. This allows you to study from the comfort of your own home while also training in the area where you will be operating.
At the conclusion of your practical training, you must complete the practical assessment. This assessment takes place in a designated location in a car and on the road with one of our specially selected assessors. This will assess your job readiness and round out your practical training.
