BLENDED DELIVERY COURSE

Our blended delivery courses are an extremely popular option that provides you with the time and flexibility to complete this course. Unlike an online course where you are left to your own devices to work through the materials and assessments, an Intelligent Training Solutions blended delivery course combines structured self-paced learning with video classes, webinars, a dedicated student support team and if required, the option of joining face-to-face classes as much or as little as you require.

Our blended courses allow students to complete the theory components of any subject in the comfort of their own home, office or workplace by providing you with interactive presentations, relevant videos and course materials through the convenience of a well-thought-out and resourced student portal.

You will be invited, not required, to participate in our scheduled webinars. Can’t make one of our live webinars? Don’t worry….. we have you covered as all our webinars are recorded and uploaded to your student portal within 72 hours of delivery, waiting for you to watch them any time, day or night. We also have pre-recorded videos that provide you with clear instructions and information on the requirements of each of your student assessments.

Like with any course, the practical elements of this course still require face-to-face delivery. We are sure that you would agree with us when we say that no practical component of a course, especially when those skills form the basis of your money-making abilities, should ever be taught to a student via remote delivery, webinar or pre-recorded video with the expectation of a student successfully grasping the concepts and outcomes required by their subject.

With that said, like our other delivery options, our blended course will have scheduled face-to-face sessions negotiated between you and your trainer for you to attend. These sessions are also a great way to learn, study, and mingle with our trainers and assessors. This flexibility provided to you in our blended courses will assist you in balancing your work/life commitments while gaining the skills and knowledge from this course.

• You have multiple driving offences – This criterion does not affect those who have had a few speeding or parking tickets; however, those people who repeatedly break the law or have serious traffic infringements against their name, such as drunk driving charges, should check with your local road authority to see they their history will exclude them from the industry before enrolling into this skill set.

EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS

FOR PASSENGER VEHICLE INSTRUCTORS

If you work in a state or territory such as the ACT or South Australia, completing this skill set, you will start your pathway to becoming a licence testing officer (LTO) capable of undertaking driver licensing assessments on behalf of your States Road Authority.*

For those instructors working in a state or territory whereby licence testing is still conducted by the Road Traffic Authority (such as Victoria), this skill set will elevate you ahead of the pack by providing you with the skill and knowledge required by LTOs that can be implemented in your daily job function as a driving instructor. This skill set will also count towards the TAE assessor skill set, allowing you to work for a TAFE or RTO.

FOR HEAVY VEHICLE INSTRUCTORS

This skill set applies to most heavy vehicle instructors across Australia who undertake heavy vehicle licensing assessments as part of their employment. The two TAE units within this skill set are the minimum requirement set out by most regulators (DIT in South Australia and Access ACT )*. For Victorian instructors, this skill set will also count towards the TAE Assessor Skill Set, which may be required by your organisation as part of the LTO program.

*Please check with your State or Territory regulations as not every state participates in the Competency-Based Training and Assessment scheme, which sees their instructors undertaking the driving assessment on behalf of the regulator. Also, please check with your local road authority to see if they are currently accepting new applicants for their LTO or driver assessor program, as some states have considerable wait times for new applicants. In these situations, this skill set may only serve as a professional development activity to improve your skills and knowledge as a trainer. 

EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS

Once you have successfully completed this qualification, you may want to consider completing the TLISS00162 Driving Instructor Skill Set. This skill set provides you with the skills and knowledge required to undertake a driver’s licence assessment in states such as the ACT and South Australia; however, in Victoria, this skill set will provide you with the underpinning knowledge of how the Department of Transport (VicRoads) go about their drive assessment, which in turn, allows you to become a better driving instructor that can thoroughly prepare their students for their drive assessment. Refer to our TLISS00162 web page for more information.

For those students wishing to use this qualification and the skills and knowledge gained throughout the course in a higher education setting, you may also be interested in the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course. Intelligent Training Solutions is not currently offering the TAE40116 qualification so you may need to Google a suitable training provider for this particular course.

FURTHER STUDY OPTIONS

Upon completion of this skill set, you will have credits towards the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification. The TAE40116 qualification allows you to specialise in the driver training industry by qualifying you to teach and assess in areas such as corporate driver training, pre-driver education, pre-course TAXI assessments and VicRoads medical or old-age assessments. These are areas of the industry that can only be accessed with a TAE qualification.

NOTE: At this stage, Intelligent Training Solutions does not offer the TAE qualification, however, any TAE unit you complete with us will provide you with a direct credit transfer into the TAE40116 qualification. For more information, please speak with your enrolling officer.
