Competency Based Training & Assessment (CBT&A) - with a CBT&A Motor Driving Instructor
The CBT&A method does not involve a single ‘pass/fail’ practical driving test, although the knowledge and competence you need to demonstrate are much the same as the practical driving test option. Competency Based Training
& Assessment is conducted by a CBT&A motor driving instructor. The key points of this option are:
• you will need to find an instructor (from a driving school)
• the instructor will need to use your copy of the The Driving Companion, which is available from a Customer Service Centre
• the requirements for each CBT&A task are clearly stated in the The Driving Companion, these tasks are also assessed if the applicant undertakes the practical test instead
• you will be assessed by the instructor as you learn, and when you have demonstrated competence in a particular task, it will be ‘signed off’ in The Driving Companion in the CBT&A section by the instructor
• the instructor will tell you what to practice for specific tasks. You can practise the tasks with a friend or family member (qualified supervising driver), who has held an unconditional driver’s licence for a minimum of two years and must not have been disqualified in the previous two years. Such licences must not be a provisional (P1 or P2) licence, or a licence subject to probationary conditions or good behaviour conditions
• at any point during your training, you may choose to take a practical driving test (VORT) with an instructor rather than the Competency Based Training & Assessment (CBT&A) method. |
