"Booked in, had never really driven a truck before. I think this was my 3rd time. Teacher was patient, understanding and taught me very well. So well in fact I passed my Test with the main roads examiner with 99% accuracy and the Tester told me I’m one of the best drivers he’s had come through for their license. Credit to the instructor, where credit is due. Can’t recommend enough. Amazing experience. "

Medium Rigid Licence Course FAQs

No prior heavy vehicle experience is required. Training is delivered progressively, starting with vehicle familiarisation and basic control before moving to road driving and manoeuvres required for the assessment.

The assessment evaluates safe vehicle operation under normal traffic conditions. This includes observation, road positioning, speed control, signalling and manoeuvring. You must demonstrate consistent control of the vehicle and awareness of surrounding hazards.

Training and assessment are completed in a Medium Rigid vehicle that meets licensing requirements. You will practise using mirrors, managing vehicle length and maintaining lane position so you are prepared for real driving conditions.

Training duration depends on your previous driving experience and ability to safely control the vehicle. Some drivers require only a short familiarisation session, while others benefit from additional practice before attempting the assessment.
