And, with training vehicles that are used in industry, you’ll get hands-on experience that you can apply to future jobs.

Worried about running out of caffeine?
Fuel up at our on-site tea and coffee bar or walk over to Skinner Street for lunch.

Before you start your course with us, you’ll need to complete the heavy vehicle knowledge test through Service NSW. It’s a 45-question in-person test that covers your knowledge about heavy vehicles and road safety.
After you’ve passed the knowledge test, you can take your practical assessment with us. If you pass, you’ll receive a competency-based certificate and your LR licence. You won’t need to take another test.

Yes, you’ll need a HVCBA learner logbook to take the practical assessment for your medium rigid licence. You can get your logbook by going to a Service NSW service centre and:
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, all our training vehicles have dashcams. Recording all training sessions helps keep our students, our instructors, and other road users safe.
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.
