Our trainers are:
- Experienced and qualified in delivering accredited and non accredited corporate driver training;
- Qualified workplace trainers ( TAE40116 );
- Experienced in training for remote area driving; and
- Committed to safety in the workplace.
Our trainers have delivered non accredited driver training for both motor vehicles and 4WD vehicles to State government departments and companies throughout Australia.
Our knowledge of driving and training in the more remote areas of Australia means we can offer experience based driver training for workers heading into areas like the APY lands and the Cooper Basin.
SA 4WD Training delivers best practice with our training packages by utilising the combined knowledge and experience of our trainers.
Why Non-Accredited Training?
Non-formal learning (adult learning) refers to structured, taught learning, but differs from formal learning in that it does not lead to a qualification within the Australian Qualifications Framework. It includes non-accredited workplace training, that is, training that does not lead to a recognised qualification.
Non-accredited training provides for flexibility in training content and structure. Training can be tailored to the specific needs of the client which can lead to more comprehensive workplace training. Unless nationally recognised training is specified, non-accredited training can fulfill the requirements of the employer to provide training to employees.
By conducting a training needs analysis of your organisations driving needs we can tailor a program just for you. We strive to offer professional corporate driver training at an affordable price.
