THIS IS NOT A TRAINING WEEKEND.  YOU WILL NEED TO ENSURE YOU HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO COMPLETE THE COURSE.

Assessors are required to view a participant complete certain components multiple times in order for you to be assessed as competent.  Generally, the assessment will occur over a weekend where the activities can be viewed by multiple assessors.  If components are missed or incomplete then ensure you find out who the club assessors are, and attend drive days and camping trips and ask them to assess you then.  From the start of the assessment weekend, you should try to complete the program within 12 months.

To participate in the assessments under this program you will receive the following reference documents:

• Basic Course Handbook
• Basic Course Application
• Queensland 4WD Club Assessment Checklist [This is for the trainee to monitor their own assessment progress]
• Detailed Practical Assessment Sheets [ 1 - 10 ]

To keep member assessment costs to a minimum, not all training materials will be purchased.  However, if you wish to purchase these documents advise the Driver Trainer Coordinator.

• Full Induction Handbook
• Driver Trainee Manual
