Questions

Answers.

How Long does the course go for?

1. The course runs Face to Face for two weeks. Although you can complete the course in this time there is an amount of work to do at home or away from training. You DO NOT have to complete the full assessment process in that same time period, many do due to work commitments but you will have to allow time after every day to do this and gain an understanding of the material. We recommend a minimum of 2 hrs per evening of self directed progress would be needed to complete all material within the10 days. Ideally if possible you should allow a couple of weeks after the face to face section to allow you more time and less stress. The first week is made up of the theory components and the second week is the practical side. With the huge variances of incidents that occur during this type of training you will come across things that can not be covered in the course (you would need to be here for years to cover everything) we are available for you to contact for advice after you complete the course (no time limit) we can also provide you with extra in vehicle training after the official completion of the course to assist you to gather a deeper understanding of the variances of what you can expect.

What Times do I need to be there?

2. The course commences at 9:00am every morning but finish times may vary but generally we finish at 3:30pm each day. Finish times within the second week can vary dependant on numbers enrolled in the course.

Can I do the course externally?

3. It is possible to do the Theory section of the course externally butnthe practical section can only be completed face to face.

We are currently working on an online delivery system for the theory section and this should be available shortly.

What will this qualification allow me to do?

4. With the TLI41210 Qualification you will be able to deliver training to those learning to drive a car for the purpose of obtaining a drivers licence.

12. The cost to complete the Online course is $2500.00. This is the total cost and includes the Practical section.

How long does it take to complete the course Online?

13. The course is self paced so you can take as long or as short a time as it is nessessary to do the course. There is no real time limit though it is expected that the maximum would be in the area of 12 months with the average being one month.

Are there still sections that I will need to do on site?

14. Yes there is a section that can not be completed Online. As you can appreciate there is a practical side to driving and as such your driving and ability to instruct can not be assessed on the computer, only your knowledge not your actual driving or instruction skills. No a video won't be able to do it, but depending on the area (location) you are in it might be possible for us to arrange for you to be assessed by a local Driver Trainer.
