There are two ways a learner driver can attain their provisional licence; by passing the Vehicle On
Road Test(VORT) or by completing the
Competency Based Training and Assessment course (CBT&A), commonly referred to as the
log book
method. Both of these methods require the learner to perform the same skills and are assessed to the same standard. For this reason, the
instructors
at
Mitcham Driving School,
Adelaide, train learner drivers from the CBT&A course contained in the learner’s
Driving Companion
(
log book).
The CBT&A course
is described in the yellow section of the log book. This section contains the various tasks that the learner driver must demonstrate competency in and explains in detail the basic car control procedure, manoeuvres, road and traffic management skills. It is a comprehensive training package designed to ensure the learner driver is exposed to a wide range of driving situations and develops the skills to deal with them.
Mitcham Driving School instructors guide learner drivers through the process of developing these skills to the point where they are ready to demonstrate their competency in an assessment. At any time, the learner driver may decide to undertake a VORT and is not obliged to complete the
CBT&A course.
