Start with the right class

Your next licence depends on what you already hold.

Queensland has minimum licence-holding periods for each heavy vehicle upgrade. Your current class, how long you have held it and the vehicle you want to operate determine the appropriate next step.

Send those details before booking. Remote Training Solutions can then confirm whether the requested training is suitable and explain the current training and assessment arrangements.

  • Class C held for at least 1 year can lead to LR or MR
  • Class C held for at least 2 years can lead to HR
  • LR or MR held for at least 1 year can lead to HR
  • MR or HR held for at least 1 year can lead to HC
  • HR or HC held for at least 1 year can lead to MC

Practical preparation

Learn the decisions that matter when the vehicle gets bigger.

Heavy vehicle preparation is not only about remembering a test sequence. It is about building repeatable habits around observation, positioning, vehicle dimensions, controls and safe decision-making.

Jim teaches those requirements in the context of real regional roads and the working conditions drivers encounter after the assessment.

  • Vehicle familiarisation and pre-drive preparation
  • Observation, road position and managing vehicle dimensions
  • Safe control, manoeuvring and practical decision-making
  • Clear feedback based on your current experience
