Application
Instructional activities must be carried out in compliance with the relevant road transport law. Work is performed without supervision. It involves the application of training competence and experience, professional motorcycle rider expertise, navigation skills, road law expertise, routine procedures and regulatory requirements to the development of safe motorcycle riding behaviour in others across a range of operational situations. The development of safe motorcycle riding behaviours in others involves the application of adult learning principles, instructional methods and high-level safe motorcycle riding expertise to maintain the safe operation of an instructional motorcycle across a variety of riding contexts. Definition of a motorcycle (class R) in this context is a 'two or three wheel motorcycle/motorbike'. |
