Accredited Training and Assessment

QLD 4x4 Club Accredited Driver Training is conducted under license from Four Wheel Drive Queensland for financial members and is a nationally recognised qualification.

This is an assessment weekend where you need to demonstrate the competencies required to achieve your qualification.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A TRAINING WEEKEND. YOU WILL NEED TO ENSURE YOU HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO COMPLETE THE COURSE.

To participate in the assessments under this program you will receive the following documents for reference throughout the program:

  • Basic Course Handbook
  • Basic Course Application
  • Queensland 4WD Club Assessment Checklist [this is for the trainee to monitor own assessment progress]
  • Detailed Practical Assessment Sheets [ 1 - 10 ]

To save on assessment costs not all of the training materials will be purchased for you. However, if you wish to purchase these documents advise the Driver Trainer Coordinator to order on your behalf.

  • Full Induction Handbook
  • Driver Trainee Manual

  1. Read the basic course information handbook [provided] to familiarise yourself with the assessment process
  2. Read through the Driver Trainee Manual if you would like to update your theoretical knowledge [optional]
