Practice your skills with one-on-one training, then pass a final competency assessment to receive your multi-combination (MC) licence.
Getting your multi-combination licence means you can apply for specialised driving jobs that earn as much as much as $60 per hour.
And it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Hold your HR or HC licence for at least a year, get your learner logbook, and enrol in a course that matches your schedule.
You’ll be taught one-on-one by an instructor who’s spent years driving road trains – and learn in industry-preferred vehicles like the Kenworth C5.
Get skilled. Get qualified. Get employed.
Before you start training, you’ll need to complete the following.
Here’s what you can expect from your course.
Take your course at our fully equipped Grafton training base.
Learn from instructors who’ve worked in industry with heavy vehicles.
Wait days, not weeks, to start training and get your licence.
Train with the same vehicle models used by industry operators.
A New South Wales multi-combination truck licence lets you drive any road vehicle other than a motorcycle. You’ll still need to follow the transmission-type restrictions on your MC licence.
Bring your HVCBA learner logbook, a drink bottle, and any eyewear you need while driving.
You’ll be sitting in a truck cab for most of your course, so wear comfortable clothing and closed shoes.
Worried about running out of caffeine?
Fuel up at our on-site tea and coffee bar or walk over to Skinner Street for lunch.
On the afternoon of your final day, our assessor will take you through your final competency assessment.
If you’re an employer, get in touch to ask about training opportunities for your workforce – including skills refreshers for existing licence-holders.
Before you start your course with us, you’ll need to complete the heavy vehicle combination knowledge test through Service NSW. It’s a 45-question in-person test that covers your knowledge about heavy vehicles and road safety. You can view all possible questions here.
After you’ve passed the knowledge test, you can undertake your training with us. If you pass, you’ll receive a competency-based certificate. You won’t need to take another test.

To upgrade an HR or HC licence to a multi-combination licence in New South Wales, you’ll need to have held either licence class for at least a year or more. You’ll then need to pass a medical assessment conducted by your GP that certifies your fitness to drive. Your GP can conduct the assessment online anywhere from 6 months to one day before you apply for your HVCBA learner logbook.
Your HVCBA learner logbook is what you need to start your training with us or another provider. You can get it by visiting a Service NSW service centre and:
At the end of your training with us, you’ll complete a final competency assessment under one of our HVCBA-accredited assessors. If you pass, you can then go to a service centre and apply for your MC licence.
We ask that all course fees be paid before you start. We accept card and direct debit from individual students; if you’re an organisation, we’ll invoice you once your people are booked in.
Yes, we do. We’re open 7 days a week – get in touch to ask about times and availability.
If you don’t pass your practical assessment, you’re welcome to rebook at the next available opening. Because we charge for our instructors’ time and the use of our vehicles, we don’t offer refunds or free second attempts. Don’t worry, though – with an average 98% pass rate across our students, there’s a very good chance that you’ll get your licence on your first try.
