Here’s what you can expect from your course.

Wait days, not weeks, to start training and get your licence.

A New South Wales light rigid truck licence lets you drive any small truck with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of up to 8 tonnes.
Bring your class C driver’s licence, a drink bottle, and any eyewear you need while driving.
You’ll be sitting in a truck cab for most of the day, 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.
Once you’re back at the training base, our assessor will take you through your practical assessment.
To drive a bus, you need 2 things:
When you pass your practical assessment, you’ll get a light, medium or heavy rigid licence.
You’ll need to apply to Transport for NSW separately to get a bus driver authority.
That involves various checks and completing the bus driver training course.
You can start applying for your bus driver authority at any time, including before your training with us.
If you’re an employer, get in touch to ask about training opportunities for your workforce.
Train new recruits to develop your talent pool or help existing employees upskill with skills refreshers and extra licence classes.
The exact vehicles you can drive depends on your licence type. An HR licence lets you drive any vehicle over 8 tonnes GVM with 3 or more axles.
You don’t need a bus driver authority to drive a 12-seater bus. Under the Passenger Transport Act 2014 (NSW), a bus is a motor vehicle that seats more than 12 adults. Depending on the gross vehicle mass (GVM) of the bus, you might need a light rigid (LR) licence.
To get a rigid vehicle licence in New South Wales, you’ll need to:
Once you have the right rigid vehicle licence and a bus driver authority, you can start driving buses.
During your KSB course, you’ll learn how to drive a rigid vehicle and take your practical assessment. If you pass, you’ll get a rigid vehicle licence.
The bus driver authority course is a separate course. You need both to be able to work as a bus driver.
The easiest way to get your bus driver authority is to take an online training course through our partner RTO, RAISE Training. Currently, that course costs $189 (GST-free). Get in touch with us to book now.
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.
Our courses typically run from Monday to Friday. If you’re interested in weekend training, please get in touch with us to ask about 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.
