Driver Training
The national accreditation process ensures that the Training Support Material has been reviewed within the training industry and deemed as appropriate for the existing skill level of the learner, and will impart the necessary 4WD skills to attain the competency level of the training standard. Successful completion of training and assessment to Competency Unit requirements will result in a nationally recognised Certificate of Attainment being issued to the learner. Training and assessment may be undertaken under course conditions to a training timetable, or over an extended period. Learners may continue to receive training and assessment until each competency element within the respective competencies is achieved. You do not have to repeat the entire Competency Unit should you not achieve competency in one element of that Unit.
Training Materials
The ANFWDC 4WD Training Support Materials were developed by experienced four wheel drivers from throughout Australia, with skills in 4WD training, to prepare the four wheel driver for the conditions likely to be met anywhere in the country. If you are looking for quality 4WD training, ask any Training Company you approach if they present Nationally Accredited 4WD Training. It is your assurance of a quality course, presented by Registered Training Organisations to national training standards.
The Support Materials published by the ANFWDC are:
- Trainee Guides for each of the 4WD Competencies
- Competency Assessment Record for recording achievement of each competency.
- Certificate of Attainment for issue by the RTO.
- Training Provider Manual which includes one of each of the above documents plus a Trainer Guide and Assessment Guide.
