What proficiency is required to complete the Vehicle Operations Instructor Course?

To successfully complete the Vehicle Operations Instructor Course, achieving a proficiency level of handling 4 out of 5 runs at 80% is essential. This standard ensures that instructors are not only knowledgeable about vehicle operation techniques but also that they can practically implement those techniques effectively under real-world conditions. Achieving such a level of proficiency demonstrates the necessary skills to instruct others in safe and effective vehicle operations. This practical component is vital in shaping competent instructors who are capable of teaching critical driving skills, particularly in emergency scenarios where quick and effective decision-making is crucial.

In contrast, while written assessments and theoretical exams are important for understanding the principles behind vehicle operations, they do not measure the practical ability to perform the skills involved in vehicle operations. Thus, proficiency in handling actual driving scenarios is prioritized to ensure that instructors can adequately train others.
