TLI31222 – Certificate III in Driving Operations

This qualification reflects the role of individuals engaged in or the road transport industry as drivers of delivery vehicles, and is suitable for drivers of van/ute size vehicles up to B doubles and Road Trains where the appropriate licences are held.

Individuals at this level generally work mainly on their own with support and supervision by a fleet controller or other manager, largely by radio.

There is a focus on understanding safety, Chain of Responsibility, vehicle checks and fatigue management, plus a variety of elective choices.

Delivery underpins our philosophy that work is the learning and learning is the work. We deliver a combination of formal training sessions and mentoring. We utilise a mix of on the-job observation and questioning, and workplace-based projects throughout our assessment tasks.

Participants are encouraged to challenge their existing knowledge and extend their boundaries whilst they expand their skill base.

To successfully attain the TLI31222 Certificate III in Driving Operations, students are required to complete a total of fifteen (15) units of competency, comprising of either:
