TasTAFE is developing a structured training program for Australian Antarctic Division operators of specialized traverse equipment (865E Challenger tractors and PB300 Kassbohrer snow groomers) in collaboration with the AAD. The program comprises basic, intermediate, and advanced modules covering pre-start procedures, equipment operations, manoeuvring, and safety protocols for extreme Antarctic conditions. Currently no nationally recognised training exists for this equipment. The project is divided into two stages: developing basic training deliverables and subsequently refining those products while developing intermediate and advanced modules. Potential future ASQA accreditation is noted. Subject matter experts from AAD will guide content development to ensure alignment with operational needs and safety standards for remote, extreme-weather environments.
