Delivery

The following methods may be used in the delivery of this standard:

  • theory training: classroom 

The class size and delegate/trainer ratio must allow training to be delivered in a safe manner and enable delegates to achieve the learning outcomes.  

All materials and equipment must be of a suitable quality and quantity for delegates to achieve learning outcomes and must comply with relevant legislation. 

Learning should include at least 25% of learning activities to suit scenario examples and simulated practical examples. 

Demonstrate operation of mobile equipment and vehicles, with delegates as passengers and observers, off the road, in a closed-access area. 

Delegates may be able to try some basic practical tasks under close supervision and coaching, off the job, after a risk assessment has been completed and risks addressed. This is merely to sample the range of work types, not to gain competency. 

This standard is considered to contain 51% or more practical training. 

Assessment

There is no requirement for training delivered against this standard to be formally assessed. For the successful completion of training, the trainer must be satisfied that the delegate has achieved all the learning outcomes.
