Location: South Australia

The TLI41222 – Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training is a nationally recognized qualification designed for individuals aiming to become c class driver trainers in Australia. However, if you wish to be accredited as a driver trainer in a particular state or territory you will need to meet the specific requirements of that jurisdiction.

For South Australian applicants the process of becoming a car instructor is outlined on the following web page:

https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/driving-and-transport/industry-services/driving-instructors/motor-driving-instructor-s-licence

Before an application for an MDI licence can be approved, you must:

• hold a current South Australian driver’s licence
• have held an unconditional car licence for a minimum of two years with no disqualifications in that time
• have held an Australian licence, or a licence from an approved country, for four years with no disqualifications in that time
• demonstrate competency as a motor driving instructor. This involves
  • holding a current Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training
    See a list of organisations that offer driving instructor training
  • demonstrating an understanding of the Australian Road Rules by completing a road rules theory test for MDIs
  • completing a regulator assessment
• be a fit and proper person.

Your application is unlikely to be accepted if you have:

• been convicted of any sexual, fraud, financial, violent, drug related or theft offences
• a history of driving offences, licence disqualifications or suspensions.

NB: Watto Training does not offer specialised regulator training post the Cert IV course, our primary focus is on the TLI41222 – Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training (car stream). Applicants will be required to source a specialist regulator trainer in South Australia to prepare for the regulator assessment. These specialist trainers can be found through a google search.

Q: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE QUALIFICATION?

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) guides us on volume of learning. It describes how long a student would take to develop all the required skills and knowledge and be assessed on those, if they had no prior knowledge. 

Most people are surprised to discover that the AQF states the volume of learning for a Certificate IV qualification is 6 months to 2 years (or 600 – 2400 hours).

There are of course allowances for shorter course durations for more experienced cohorts. We find many of our clients for example, already have significant experience in teaching and training. For experienced people we tailor a learning plan that allows them to not spend time learning things that they can already do. Subsequently they take less time than the AQF suggests.
