Course Description:

This defensive driving course (with 4WD elements) covers the skills and knowledge required to operate a light vehicle (a vehicle under 4.5 tonnes) in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries. While the national guidelines for RIIVEH201E specify that it is applicable to any light vehicle, at Driven Training we’ve customised our RIIVEH201E course to include four wheel drive elements and 4WD vehicles. This unit is appropriate for those working in operational roles.

Note: The course completion certificate will not contain the words “defensive driving course” because the official name of the course is “RIIVEH201E Operate A Light Vehicle” (as defined by training.gov.au). In addition to covering defensive driving techniques, this 8-hour course also covers other material. If you are after a course that just covers defensive driving techniques, see our 4-hour On Road Defensive Driving Course (which is not a nationally recognised course).

Course Duration:

This defensive driver training course is delivered over one 8-hour day (depending on ability and experience).
