Inclusions
These RIIVEH305F training resources help your RTO deliver practical training on operating, recovering and maintaining four wheel drive vehicles in remote and off-road conditions, with editable documents for planning and assessment.
The RIIVEH305F learning materials explain two wheel and four wheel drive differences, tyre management, pre-departure checks, environmental impact, terrain techniques and recovery equipment, and trainers can adapt them to local terrain.
These RIIVEH305F RTO materials help assessors capture evidence of four wheel drive operation and maintenance across at least two occasions.
Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of RIIVEH305F Operate and maintain a four wheel drive vehicle by helping learners identify handling differences between two wheel and four wheel drive vehicles, factors affecting tyres and the purpose of recovery points. Trainers and assessors can use them to plan activities around minimising environmental impact, pre-departure checks under the bonnet and body, selecting navigation equipment, assessing weather, briefing passengers and checking brakes and undercarriage after varied terrain.
Your RTO should still carry out independent validation to confirm alignment with your specific delivery context and learner cohort, as required under the Standards for RTOs. Use the assessment mapping as your starting point.
