Thank you for the update Tricia.
Awaiting news eagerly.
Have the 'training' providers approached ACC? Couldn't see it, they get paid the same either way. Why make more work for themselves for no gain?
I know that's a pretty negative thing to say, particularly since I often say that most of the people on bikes have less control of it than a mad woman does, her shit. However I'm pretty sure they, every one, harp "for the good of the community".
It would not surprise me to see an ACC levy attached to the course fee. But I doubt if ACC would support the funding of courses that affect due process of law.
I also doubt that the CBTA courses are/will be ... an automatic pass based solely on attendance. Time will tell what level of competency is required to pass.

The only required by law training in place at the moment is the Basic Handling test. I think it is time more driver/rider testing is put in place in the licence system.
If the CBTA courses prove their worth ... maybe more will be.
Like we care ..

I would pre-empt it, and make ACC aware of the intention of the course, and intent to chase them for funding. Before anything at all gets approved. Once something is in place, they are far less likely to want any part of it.
My two cents, usually worth less to anyone else though.
So what is the intention of the course ... is it as perceived by Government, or as perceived by restricted licence holders ... ???
Is there a difference ... ???
My ten cents worth (lowest denomination coinage currently in circulation) ... is ... Government want competent vehicle operators on the road. Restricted licence holders just want a licence with no restrictions. Actual content of the courses, to show PROVEN competency of riders passing at the end of the course will be achieved ... is the key to approval.
An improvement in riders actual skill level may not be the actual aim of the course.
A confident sensible rider should have no issues passing the course. (Often hard to find amongst restricted licence holders)
Remember we are talking about a Government department here ... And approval for ACC funding would have to come from the Minister of ACC. Too many unknowns for a mere departmental head to sign off on.
