One of the most commonly asked questions, however the answer is not that simple.  Everyone has different experiences and learns at different rates.

It’s not a race to tick the boxes, additional training may be required.  It’s not about doing some hours in a truck, it’s about YOU, having the ability to demonstrate you can control the truck in normal, everyday driving conditions.

Yes, just like all RTO / truck training schools in WA, the Department of Transport issues an agency agreement, such that we can conduct the training, issue a statement of attainment, then conduct the Practical Driving Assessment (PDA).  We are responsible for making sure that the theory, eye sight requirements and practical demonstrations are conducted BEFORE you undertake the PDA. We do it all in-house.

No, as long as you hold a valid WA drivers’ licence, a learner’s permit is not required to undertake these courses.  There are minimum eligibility criteria you must conform to for each different course you can undertake. See each individual course for those requirements.

No, is the short answer.  You must demonstrate that you can operate the truck to the standard set by the Department of Transport.  When undertaking the PDA, the assessment is recorded with internal and sometimes external video and audio recorders.  IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE STANDARD, YOU DO NOT PASS THE ASSESSMENT.  Our job, is to make sure you get to the consistent standard required, in the shortest possible time.

A 40% deposit is required on booking the course with the remainder payable on or before commencement of the course. Payment can be made by Credit Card (over the phone or in person), EFT or Cash on the day of training.
If an employer or a job network provider is paying the course fees, please notify the office prior to enrolment.
A Statement of Attainment (SoA) cannot be issued until all fees are paid in full and a valid USI (unique student identifier) has been provided.
