- Q. Which Method CBT&A (Log book) or VORT to get your Driving Licence?
- A. Competency Based Training & Assessing Also known as the “Log Book method” CBT&A is a structured learner driver training and assessment program taught and assessed only by an accredited driving instructor as set out by the Government standard. Most students’ feel this is the preferred method because ALL training & assessing is completed by the same person! With this method you won’t need to sit a VORT. You are assessed by the accredited instructor you have been taught by.
A government auditor may sometimes be present (same with VORT) but they are there only to oversee the Instructors performance, not the student.You also have the luxury of a secondary assessment if a road law is broken during the primary assessment!
And all slow speed manoeuvres are completed prior to the final drive assessment drive (task 30)HINT:
Yellow section of driving companion book states all the standards for CBT&AVORT (Vehicle on road test) – Driving Licence Test by an independant examiner.
Only an Authorised Examiner that has never trained the student can perform this test.
Approximately a 45 minute Driving test with a VORT examiner including all 5 slow speed Driving manoeuvres including Reverse parallel parking and a general drive with 100% Road law required.
Any Road Law breaches constitute an instant FAIL with no second chances.
