COMPETENCY BASED TRAINING
USING THE LOG BOOK
This is the recommended option when learning to drive. It allows the leaner driver to undertake training through an ACCREDITED INSTRUCTOR.
The Accredited Instructor will conduct the training in accordance with the Competency Based Training (CBT) Course as laid down by Transport SA.
As the learner successfully completes each task in the CBT course, the achievement of each task will be recorded in the Log Book by the Accredited Instructor.
The Log Book contains 30 tasks and is divided into 4 Units
1. Basic Driving Procedures
2. Slow Speed Manoeuvres
3. Basic Road Skills
4. Traffic Management
Successful completion of all 30 Tasks will result in the training course being completed and the issue of a Certificate of Competency to obtain a driver's licence.
Besides containing the Task Title and Number, the Learning Outcome, Task Standard and Task Requirements, there is also space to record the learners competency on each step of the task and time spent for "practice between lessons".
Entries recorded by the instructor will give valuable help to family or friends overseeing any practice sessions as well as any other Instructor continuing the training or any Road Safety Officer conducting an audit to ensure that standards are maintained.
The second page for each task contains the training and assessment records which will be completed by the Accredited Instructor as the learner progresses through the training course and achieves the required standard.
Dates when training has been given for the particular task should be recorded.
Task Assessment Records are marked and used to determine the standard for the learner driver.
The Range Statement, where applicable, gives the assessment conditions and the items that assessment will include.
Once the task has been assessed to the required standard it will be signed off by the learner driver and the accredited instuctor.
