Terms and Conditions of Use

Welcome to BRAKE’s website and Online System for managing BRAKE’s courses in driver awareness for young adults.

The BRAKE Online System (the “BOS Application” or “Website ”) allows school administrative staff, teachers and students to record and manage information about themselves and the BRAKE classes they are a part of.

The BOS Application helps document, measure and record a student’s progress in a BRAKE Driver Awareness course.

For those schools and students resident in the state of Queensland who successfully complete the requirements of the BRAKE course, the BOS Application allows BRAKE to notify the Queensland Studies Authority (“QSA”) of the names of students who have completed all the QSA’s requirements for an additional QCE point.
