About The Role

Step out of the workshop and into a role that values your expertise and experience, offers good work-life balance, offers deep satisfaction and supports your professional growth!

Bendigo Kangan Institute’s Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE) is seeking experienced and highly skilled Sessional Licensed Vehicle Testing (LVT) Teachers to deliver training within the VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester programs. As the only institution in Victoria offering the full spectrum of LVT courses, ACE holds a prestigious reputation in the industry. To maintain this standing, we are committed to building a team of expert trainers.

In this role, you will deliver training in one or more of the following:

Light Vehicle Testing (monthly for 6 days)
Heavy Vehicle Testing (every other month for 6 days)
Bus Testing (Light and Heavy)

Ideal candidates will be qualified Licensed Vehicle Testers with extensive industry experience who meet all the pre-requisites as per the Department of Transport and Planning guidelines. While a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE) or prior teaching experience is advantageous, it is not required, as this is a non-accredited course. Those without a TAE but who would be willing to enrol, would be desirable candidates.

This is a fantastic opportunity to share your expertise and contribute to the future of vehicle testing standards in Victoria. If you are passionate about training and want to be part of a high-calibre team, we encourage you to apply.
