Successful completion of this Unit of Competency is based on the assessment of your demonstrated competence when driving plus extra assessments to fully cover the criteria where the unit requirements exceed those of the Licencing Authority.
The licencing examination at the completion of the training in this Unit of Competency will be undertaken as a Final Competency Assessment (FCA) conducted by our Roads and Maritime Services assessor, or a Roads and Maritime Services auditor.
Your results will be reported as Competent, or Not Yet Competent, and you will be licenced accordingly.
Course can be booked in at the completion of your Knowledge Test. Waiting time is normally 5-10 days depending upon scheduling
