This project updated the Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training and ensure all units in the qualification are current.
The role of the professional driver trainer is to educate learner drivers on the knowledge, attitude, and skills for the efficient and safe operation of a motor vehicle on our public roads.
The Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training is used to train light, heavy vehicle and motorcycle driving instructors. Currently this qualification includes two core units of competency from the TAE – Training and Education Training Package which have been superseded.
This project updated the superseded units and ensured all units in the qualification were current. Ensuring the qualification is up to date is particularly important as this role is already in high demand especially with the proposed licensing reforms being developed under the Review of the National Heavy Vehicle Driver Competency Framework. These reforms included minimum training requirements for driver training and a focus on training and assessment standards.

The first meeting of the Technical Committee is scheduled for 24 September 2024.
