"I had a great experience with Nav, passed on the first try and I have never driven a truck before. Thank you so much and I will be back to upgrade again in the future. "

"I needed an LR license for work. Without having any idea of the process I booked with Great Heavy Driving school. They made the process extremely easy. Nav was my instructor, she was incredibly friendly and a great teacher during our 2 hour practice drive (prior to the test). She pointed out all the bad habits I had developed to make sure I was ready prior to the test. Thanks Nav! I wouldn’t have passed without you :) - I would definitely recommend booking with them"

Light Rigid Licence Course FAQs

No previous heavy vehicle experience is required. The training is designed for new drivers and begins with the fundamentals before progressing to on-road driving. Your trainer will guide you through each stage so you understand what to do and why you’re doing it before moving forward.

The course length depends on your ability and confidence. Some participants are ready sooner, while others need more time behind the wheel. The trainer works at your pace and will only move to assessment once you are comfortable operating the vehicle safely.

You will complete a practical driving assessment where you demonstrate safe vehicle control, road positioning, observation, and hazard awareness. The assessment reflects real driving conditions so you are prepared for everyday truck operation, not just the test itself.

After successfully completing the assessment, you will be issued the documentation required to upgrade your licence to LR through the relevant licensing authority. Your trainer will explain the next steps so you know exactly what to do after training.
