A Heavy Combination Licence is required if you wish to drive trucks with a single trailer, commonly referred to as a “semi-trailer”. This includes vehicles such as prime movers, truck and dogs, pig trailers, floats and low loaders. Given the size of these vehicles, it is imperative that drivers have the necessary skills and knowledge to drive them safely. Students who may feel apprehensive about handling this class of vehicle can be assured that attending a course through Core Driving School will give them the confidence and expertise they need to drive HC Licensed vehicles.
Heavy Combination (HC) Truck Licence Training & Assessment
TLILIC3017 - Licence to drive a heavy combination vehicle
Want a Licence to drive a Heavy Combination Vehicle
The Heavy Combination Licence course involves training in both the theoretical and practical criteria as required under the AQF and HVCBA. It also includes the final competency assessment. Courses can generally be completed in one day unless a student requires a little more time working on a particular skill. At Core Driving School it is our goal to ensure all students are equipped with all the necessary skills required to pass their assessment with confidence.
Under AQF and HVCBA, drivers are assessed against specific criteria relating to the safe operation of heavy vehicles. The assessment is then conducted under a range of conditions. The assessor must be accredited by the Transport for NSW and it is a requirement under HVCBA that your training and assessment are conducted by different assessors. At Core Driving School we look after this for you and ensure that the assessor that delivers your training will not be the same assessor that conducts your Final Competency Assessment.
HOW TO GET HC LICENCE?
To be eligible to attend the HC Licence course you must;
Please note that any time spent on a P1 licence counts towards the year total however you are unable to practice on an LR vehicle or obtain an LR licence until you hold a P2 or full class C licence.
In order to attend a Heavy Combination Licence course you must first attend an Service NSW office in person and;
Heavy Combination Licence Course Requisites
You will then be issued with a Heavy Vehicle HVCBA Learner’s Log Book and a copy of the Guide to Heavy Vehicle Competency Based Assessment. The guide will provide you with all the necessary information required regarding what tasks you need to complete in the training and your final assessment. All progress is recorded in your log book which shows your progress in developing the skills required to upgrade your licence. It is important that you keep your Log Book until you have passed your final assessment.
Once you have successfully completed your Final Competency Assessment you simply attend an Service NSW centre to be issued with your upgraded licence.
We offer all our courses in the Sydney, Penrith, Campbelltown, Newcastle, Central Coast and Wollongong regions. We offer flexible training hours, including early morning and in the afternoons to fit with your schedule. If you meet appropriate criteria and wish to obtain your Heavy Combination Licence, please call us on 0449 822 673 or book online to ensure your place in our next HC course.

Isaak is a great instructor, THE BEST teacher. Couldn’t recommend enough if you’re going for your HR road ranger licence.Edit: Came back a year later to upgrade to MC (takes 2 days as you do HC 1 day, then MC the next), I had Ty as my instructor and Isaak did my assessment. Once again unreal tutorship with Ty giving me clear, concise instructions and awesome tips and tricks on the big step up. Isaak, professional as always doing my assessment. AGAIN, couldn't recommend enough!! Thank you to the whole team!! I'll see you on the highway!!

Core Truck Driving School is definitely the school to choose. The great experience starts from the moment they receive your call. Elda greets you with a friendly, informative attitude and guides you from A to Z. The moment they received me at 6:00 am the serious training began. We were given clear instructions and expectations of the day and the course (Issac). Yes, a lot to learn in one day, it was intense, but inclusive. I did my HR training- with one experienced instructor (Bill), sat for the test, was evaluated by another experienced instructor (Frank), and passed my HR driving test all on the same day.Their professional attitude from start to finish was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend them for any license, they know what they are doing.

From the minute I arrived the staff went out of their way to build rapport with myself and the other attendee, they were clear on instructions and were patient when those instructions were misunderstood. The whole day could be summed up in similar circumstances to this. Everyone was welcoming, the service was impeccable, the training was amazing, and everyone I came into contact with went out of their way to help in any way possible. Top job!
