Todays experience with Core Driving School was perfect from the get go this morning. Welcoming team, very friendly and the help and understanding was out of this world. I would definitely recommend this Company to my fellow work colleagues, friends and Families that intend on getting their licenses.
Great place to learn, trucks and teachers are unreal. Overall would definitely recommend.
Great experience, everyone was very nice and really enjoyed it.
Trainer’s were amazing and thorough with training and preparation. Would highly recommend this truck driving school.
Isaac and Ty are the best in the biz. Very professional, personal, lots of fun and they know their stuff back to front. I’d give 10/5 if Google would let me. These are your guys for a HR license - cheers team!
Great course to upgrade my car licence to a LR truck licence in a 1 day session. The instructors were excellent and I felt confidant when we switched instructors and I was video assessed for the driving test. The practical session on trying down a load with ropes, ratchet straps and chains was very useful and I was allowed to video my instructor so I can go home and practice my knots.
Amazing environment to learn with the most amazing people around. Strongly recommend to everyone. Thank you Core's entire team helping me get MR license.
My sincere thanks and gratitude to Core Truck Driving School, which was more than just a driving school for me; it was a launching pad for excellence. Thanks to their high professionalism and experienced instructors, I learned to drive an HR truck with confidence and competence. I am proud of this experience and impressed by the quality of the training and attention to detail. I would recommend Core Truck Driving School to anyone who aspires to become a professional truck driver."
I recently completed my truck driving course with Core in Smithfield, and I can't say enough good things about the entire experience. From day one, everything was laid out in a clear, simple way that made the whole process of getting my truck driving license feel incredibly manageable.The course itself was well-structured and easy to follow. Even with no prior experience, I was able to grasp the material quickly thanks to how clearly it was presented. The lessons were broken down into manageable steps, and there was no pressure—just steady, supportive guidance all the way through.What truly set Core apart, though, was the staff. Everyone there—from the instructors to the office team—was genuinely caring, patient, and fully committed to helping me succeed. They went above and beyond to make the process smooth, from helping with paperwork to offering extra time for practice when I needed it.The hands-on training was especially great. The instructors at Core in Smithfield took the time to make sure I felt confident behind the wheel. Their encouragement and expert tips helped me stay calm and focused, and they were always available if I had questions or needed extra guidance.Thanks to their incredible support, I passed both my written and driving exams on the first try. I truly felt like they cared about me not just as a student, but as a future professional on the road.If you're looking for a stress-free, supportive path to earning your truck driving license, I highly recommend Core in Smithfield. They made what could have been a challenging process feel easy—and even enjoyable.
The team at Core are great trainers very reassuring and give all the have.I would highly recommend them.A special thanks to Franky and Tyron for their council.
Passed HR test the same day. Trained with Ty , he and all of Issak’s team are very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
Great experience did my HR with Bill he was professional and helpful through the whole process. Couldn’t recommend this place more
Isaak has formed a great team at Core Driving School! My instructor Frank was very knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure my test was a breeze. Would definitely recommend the crew at Core to anyone looking to further their career in transport!
Great fun school and extremely helpful would highly recommend!
I left off this review for a while... Isaac was Worst instructor I have ever had to deal with, vaped in the cabin with a asthmatic client, turned the air conditioning off in 40 degree heat, spent more time teaching tying knots in ropes then actually driving, due to this I only got about 1.5Hrs behind the wheel in the whole day we did about 15 minutes in reversing and only allowed me to couple and uncouple the truck once, then he told me to pay for another day because of his poor training. I Walked away from this company and will be going to a decent training provider from another company. The actual Prime Mover I was driving ran out of REGO at 4pm on the Day of training, The Instructor completely put me off the industry and I was not planning on continuing.Issac spent more time trying to tell me how good he was and how many people he had trained then actually training me the right way..... They might have kept my $400 for the assessment but what do you expect from a company like this. The picture was taken whilst my instructor went for a coffee at the Cafe in the middle of training.And as for the usually narky comments for the worst training company on the planet look at 13/14 December 2023 you will know I got screwed by your company.
I had a great experience getting my hr license at Core Driving School. The staff were amazing and helpful throughout the process. My instructor was very knowledgeable and made learning easy and stress-free. The environment was welcoming, and I felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get their license!
Done my course in 1 day very good training and will be back for my mc
Whole team was great really appreciate everyone’s help in the training and assessment, highly recommended using the guys here to obtain key knowledge and understanding of using and driving trucks.
Perfect. This is definitely the best place. My English is not good, but they helped me a lot and I passed the hr Driving test on the same day.
Without a doubt, CORE Driving school should be the ONLY driving school you need to contact to upgrade or acquire a heavy vehicle licences (LR, MR, HR, HC). I called another company and they never called me back! Their Loss! Isaac, Elda and the rest of the team are the best!
Great driving school with a bunch of top notch instructors. Friendly and professional with safety a priority . I will definitely go back again when I upgrade my license.👍
Tyron was an amazing teacher / assessor. Was very professional and would recommend to any future HR licence
Natürlich sind die Klischees hervorragend und die Behandlung ist sehr gut.
The moment you walk through the doors at CORE driving school there is an overwhelming sense of relief.These beautiful people have so much love and respect for what they do!They want you to feel comfortable learning, confident on the road and like a part of their family even after the day has passed.I had the pleasure of sitting beside Nathan and Frank for my HR license last week (two incredible instructors).Thanks to them I left feeling relaxed and confident about my future behind the wheel.Thanks again to all the staff at Core!
Great instructors, they do care about you and your learning process! Truly recommend!
10/10 all roundHas to be one of the best institutes out there, friendly team and will make sure you pass in 1 day
This is my second time coming to Core Truck Driving School, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The first time around, I was blown away by how professional, knowledgeable, and supportive the team was—and this time was no different. I came back to upgrade my licence because I had such a great experience the first time. The instructors are patient, experienced, and genuinely care about helping you succeed. Everything is run smoothly and professionally, and they make what could be a stressful process feel straightforward and even enjoyable. Highly recommend Core to anyone looking to get into the industry or move up in it.
The best and most amazing driving school friendly people and nice environment
Response from the owner: Hi Jonathan We don’t have anyone by your name, You have got the wrong school.
Friendly instructors. Good explanations and instructions when driving.
I past my test with you guys was awesome thanks a lot for you guys I appreciate
I have passed my HR unrestricted license today. The trainers are amazing and really helpful and patient… Highly recommend this training school for all your truck license needs in NSW.
Great experience . All trainers are amazing and go above and beyond to make sure you pass. Thank you for the amazing time !
They have good trainers and assertors they are very good thank you
Super friendly staff, amazing teacher highly recommend
Highly recommend Core Driving School for truck and bus license. Isaac and his team are very passionate and extremely knowledgeable in anything transport. Great advice and friendly service. Price is also very reasonable and competitive.
Great driving school, highly recommended 👍
I chose CORE Driving School after doing some elaborate research on various other options. Turned out it was a good choice. I was doubtful about the training day, so Elda suggested that I book the day with a minimal deposit, which is not generally available with other organisations who book with the total amount.I landed at 0530 in the morning and started sharply at 0600 with Issiah briefing us on the general topics, including the pre-start checks. I started training with Bill on 15-CORE, and it was an excellent experience. I drove around with Bill for about 4.5 hours, including a break at a good cafe that Bill took me to.Frank assessed me, and I drove for an hour without hiccups.Positives: Excellent experience, reasonable price, long training time, and elaborate explanations of the details of the regulations.Suggesstions: I booked in for Automatic/Syncromesh and was not asked for an option. I thought I would get to train in both or would be asked about an option, which did not happen. I was expecting to drive a syncromesh truck as well. In the future, please ask the student to choose between automatic and syncromesh.I did not clarify, so I cannot hold that against them.Suggestions to future students: Much time is spent on the road, so if you bring your food along, don't leave it at the office but carry it while driving so that you can eat your lunch during the roadside break.
Response from the owner: Hi BudhaIt was a pleasure having you with us and thank you very much for your honest feedback. We will pass on your suggestions to our team, hope we can improve going forwards ..please note that Auto/Synchro is the same licence and falls under condition “B” Roadranger is the manual gearbox in trucks.You can always fall back to us for guidance and hope to see you in the near future.. drive safe All the best from us here at CORE
Great crew very professional they're totally thorough ... 100 per cent if you're getting your licence don't muck about wondering go with Core all these 5 star reviews are legit.
More than helpful, easily explained everything,no rushing you at all, would highly recommend to anyone wanting a truck licence 👍
Good fellas really patient and informative highly recommended for a good reason
I highly recommend Core Driving School for anyone wishing to upgrade their licence to the truck classes. Everyone is friendly from booking with Elda throught to the final assessment. They have a good atmosphere for learning from Issac's early morning intro to Frank's external vehicle check. My Instructor Bill is very professional and I learn't alot from him. The final assessment by Ty was also very professional and I appreciated his calm approach. Well done all.
Everyone in the business are wonderful and great people , I was worried about my hr licence test but all went well
Had a great day learning how to properly operate a HR truck, given all the tools and tips needed to safely drive a truck. Passed with flying colours thanks to the instructors!
Got my HR RR license here, very good instructors. Worth the money and a great experience. Only feedback would be making the RR course 2 or 3 days, as going from never driving a truck before to feeling comfortable in one day is a lot.
Great place to learn to drive a truck. The staff are very helpful in teaching you the ropes and giving lots of advice as you drive around town with lots to different types of roads being tackled throughout the day!
