Log book, VORT or CBT -
What it all means
It can be really confusing!
Everyone has a different name for everything and so many things seem to be called “Log Book”.
Should you be doing VORT or the CBT (Log Book)
Course anyway? We hope this helps.
The Driving Companion
This is what most people call the
Log Book. You should get one when you pass
your L’s Test at Service SA.
The different sections of
the Driving Companion are explained below:
The Driving Hours
Log Book - Green section in “The Driving Companion”.
(Page 25)
The proper name for the pages where you fill in your minimum 50 hours of
driving experience.
Every first time
driver has to do the 50 hours no matter which method they choose to
actually get their license.
VORT (Test)
Red section in “The Driving Companion”
(Page 43)
-
VORT stands for Vehicle On Road Test.
It is a Practical Driving Test with an Authorised Driving Examiner.
-
It is one of two ways you can get the Certificate that you take to Service SA
along with everything else you need to get your license.
-
You take the Examiner for a drive
over a specific VORT route. They "examine" how you drive, park and
do U turns etc. You either Pass or Fail - if you fail, you must wait
14 days to do another Test.
-
While it is possible to just book a VORT
with a Licensed Examiner then attempt the Test, most people choose to do at least some driving
lessons first.
CBT Course (Log Book Training)
Yellow section in The Driving Companion
(Page
47)
-
CBT stands for Competency Based Training (& Assessment)
Course.
-
This is the other way you can get the Certificate you take to Service SA
when get your License.
-
Many people call this process “Log Book” or “Log Book Lessons”.
-
The training course includes 30 tasks that must be completed to the
required standard. There are also a couple of additional, optional tasks.
-
A CBT Accredited Instructor works through the training and assessment of
these tasks with you.
-
There is not really such a thing as pass or fail, just “come back and
finish that one next lesson”.
-
Generally takes longer than preparation for the VORT
but the minimum training requirement covers a broader range of
skills including Country Driving.
