As a result, their LR license program is always full. It is one of the best programs in Australia for anyone looking to jump into such an exciting career.
LR, MR, and HR License Courses
Their Light Rigid Truck License (LR) is for anyone who needs to be licensed to drive small trucks with an 8 tonnes gross vehicle mass (GVM), tow a trailer up to 9 tonnes GVM, or any bus that seats more than 12 adults with a GVM of up to 8 tonnes.
You are eligible to apply for a LR license if you have a class C license for at least a year, and pass the LR knowledge test and eyesight tests. They have experience training people to get their LR license for many years and have had to upgrade their vehicles to meet the high demand. The LR license will also qualify anyone looking to drive an ambulance.
The course in two parts, with the trainer and assessor, and can normally be completed in a single day and is quickly becoming one of the more popular courses at Core Driving School. If you are looking to get a Medium Rigid (MR) license, you will be able to drive all MR trucks and busses with a GVM over 8 tonnes and that has more than two axles.
To obtain a MR license you need a class C license for a year minimum, pass an eyesight test, and pass the MR knowledge test. The course is accredited through RMS and is available every day of the week. For those looking to get a Heavy Rigid (HR) truck license to operate trucks and buses with three axels over 8 tonnes GVM, and bendy busses, Core Driving School offers training for this as well. Much like the other two license options, students need to pass the knowledge and eyesight tests. They only difference is that a potential student must have held a class C license for a two-year minimum.
HC, Forklift, and Bus Authorities License Courses
Core Driving School also offers courses for anyone looking to get a Heavy Combination license, drive a forklift, or get a Bus Driver Authority license. The HC license allows people to drive Semi trucks. This would include prime movers, pig trailers, float, low loaders, and truck and dogs. Core recommends that students get experience driving one trailer before they try to get their HC truck license. This is because students need the experience to safely drive a HC vehicle. They are committed to producing the highest quality students, plus, it is the experience that potential employers will look for when hiring new drivers.
People looking to get an HC license must meet the following requirements: MR or HR license for at least a year, pass the practical road test with Core, pass Core’s competency assessment, and get the proper medical clearance. For anyone looking to get their forklift license, Core has courses to get certified. Students will need to complete the course, and then apply to WorkCover to obtain a high risk work license. For a Bus Driver Authority license, students need to have an unrestricted license in NSW, be at least 20, and pass the assessment. To qualify for the complete certification, students will also need to pass a medical test, and pass a police background check. Once the course is completed and all other requirements are met, students will be given a Proficiency certificate that can be used to apply for bus driving jobs.
