Before you can learn to drive, you must have:
What does it allow me to drive?
HR: A motor vehicle that has 3 or more axles and a gross vehicle mass greater than 8 tonnes.
HC: A prime mover to which is attached a single semi-trailer plus any unladen converter dolly, or rigid motor vehicle attached to a trailer that has a gross vehicle mass greater than 9 tonnes plus any unladen converter dolly.
MC: Any heavy combination unit towing two or more trailers, each having a gross vehicle mass greater than 9 tonnes. Multi-Combination vehicle driver assessments are conducted by private training organisations.

Flexible training options include hourly lessons over several weeks or a package where the learner can book in for a 1 or 2-Day Course. The learner can complete assessments or licence test at the completion of the course. Typically, this sort of training is applicable to truck licences.
