Heavy Vehicle licencING courses

We train to the Competency Based Assessment (CBA) system, allowing learners to progressively achieve the required skills and knowledge during training. Learners will then undertake a Final  Competency Assessment (FCA) with a Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) Accredited Assessor on the open road using an approved test route. Once you are successful, you can go to any Service NSW or RMS motor registry to have your upgraded licence re-issued.

During training you will learn how to:

• drive the heavy vehicle, including vehicle handling and performance, start up and shut down procedures and load restraint

• monitor traffic and road conditions enabling safe operation of the vehicle and courteous interaction with other road users

• monitor and maintain vehicle performance, including pre-operational inspections, vehicle checks and appropriate signage

We have a fleet of Industry standard modern vehicles with Road Ranger, synchromesh and automatic gearboxes.
