Most of our students don't have experience driving trucks. We take the time to move at your pace so you are confident and comfortable.
This varies from licence to licence. Most courses are a 1 day course but can be split into 2 days.
Each of our instructors and assessors have a certificate IV in training and assessing, making them fully qualified to instruct students on how to safely operate a truck.
Re-assessments can be taken after 24 hours.
