Yellow section in The Driving Companion
- CBT & A stands for Competency Based Training & Assessment course.
- This is the other way you can get the Certificate you take to Service SA when get your License.
- Many people call this process "Log Book" or "Log Book Lessons".
- The training course includes 30 tasks that must be completed to the required standard. There are also a couple of additional, optional tasks.
- A CBT Accredited Instructor works through the training and assessment of these tasks with you.
- There is not really such a thing as pass or fail, just "come back and finish that one next lesson".
- Generally takes longer than preparation for the VORT but the minimum training requirement covers a broader range of skills including Country Driving.
- COMPETENCY BASED TRAINING USING THE LOG BOOK
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 Units1. Basic Driving Procedures
