Purpose

The aim of this course is to produce an LUV operator that can demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attributes for all essential areas of “best practice” guidelines for LUV driving in the workplace. 

This course enables the individual to drive an LUV effectively and safely over varied terrain. The trainee will also be able to demonstrate the appropriate responsibilities of a driver of an LUV vehicle with emphasis on accident prevention.

Note: No licence is required if 100% of use is on private land with no public access. Where public land is to be accessed the correct licence and registration is required.
