Final Competency Assessment (FCA) for the LR Licence Course
Firstly, the Course Content must be attended, which includes the above-mentioned requirements. You will be taught and evaluated against these standards, and after you have met them, you will be “signed off.” Once you’ve finished the education course, you’ll need to take the Last Competency Assessment, which is a professional practical driving test that will be recorded as part of the RMS mandate. After having completed the FCA and meeting the requisite standard of proficiency, you will be granted a certificate, which the RMS will use to grant your LR permit.
Heavy Vehicle Knowledge Test for LR Truck Licence
The knowledge exam tests your understanding of both general road laws and rules specific to heavy trucks. You must first pass a knowledge exam on heavy vehicle traffic regulations before you can:
- Complete HVCBA and apply for a Learner’s Logbook.
- Make an appointment for a heavy vehicle driving exam.
If you’re learning how to drive, you can decide to drive right away with your present licence; but, before scheduling a road test or acquiring an HVCB, you must complete the heavy truck road laws knowledge test.
