The school is amazing. Great teachers easy to follow. Has modern trucks to learn. Trainer Van. Assessors Bill. Very good

Highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking to upgrade their licence. The instructors are amazing and help you to feel confident and competent prior to the assessment. I did my LR Licence here and would definitely recommend booking in with core driving school!!!!

Great bunch of instructors with heaps of knowledge to pass on.

Great experience from start to finish! The instructors were professional, knowledgeable and patient, making the whole learning process easy and enjoyable. Excellent training, clear instructions and a supportive environment. Highly recommend this truck driving school to anyone looking to get their licence!

Would recommend 10/10 training and everything was done professionally and smoothly

Perfect trainers perfect assessor’s. Picked a great school

⭐☆☆☆☆Good driving school, but a terrible experience with the examiner Brooke.I want to share my experience with Brooke, the Croatian instructor who examined me.From the moment I arrived that morning, I got the impression that he didn’t like me and had a negative attitude towards me. Throughout the entire driving test, that impression was only reinforced. He barely spoke to me, apart from giving me driving instructions. His attitude was cold, distant and unfriendly, making me feel extremely uncomfortable during a test where you need to feel calm and confident in order to concentrate.I genuinely believe that I performed an acceptable driving test and that my driving was good enough to pass. However, Brooke decided to fail me. Obviously, I respect that an examiner has to assess driving according to certain standards, but that does not justify having such an unpleasant attitude or showing a complete lack of basic professionalism and human courtesy.I want to make one thing very clear: the driving school in general is very good, and I have met some excellent people there. Blink, for example, is a fantastic instructor: friendly, approachable and someone who knows how to make students feel comfortable and confident.My criticism is not directed at the entire school, but specifically at Brooke. I honestly don’t understand how someone with that attitude can be responsible for examining people who are simply trying to obtain their driving licence.My recommendation is to choose this driving school because it has some great instructors, but if you have the option, avoid Brooke. For me, this was an unpleasant, frustrating and extremely disappointing experience.

Isack and the team at core were phenomenal to work with and highly knowledgeable. Isack taught me the road ranger, so he was very patient and confident and made sure I was confident within my own skills to do the test.

Great company to do driving test. Recommend highly recommend one of the best.

The Guys out of Core driving school got me exactly where I needed to be! Thankyou all very much

Highly recommended! Had a great experience with my instructor Issak, he's very professional and explains things well.. Overall wonderful experience.

Went and done my HR course with core driving school, my instructor was branko and accessor was Ty absolute legends with guiding me how to drive a truck. Would highly recommend core driving school if you are looking to upgrade and learn how to drive a truck. Thankyou to Isaac and the team at core driving

Excellent training for a first time behind a truck …thank you Frank for a thorough training regime …loved it .

Very friendly and helpful teachers, passed first try with extensive advice and respect

I had the owner of the company as my trainer, and the experience was extremely disappointing. He would yell and swear, spend a lot of time on his phone while driving, and even ask me to beep the horn at his mates as we drove past. I found the behaviour completely unprofessional.Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I’m also sceptical about the authenticity of some of the other positive reviews.

Yes very good experience and skill employees are respectful and helpful with instructions and dont complicate it

Very good trainers and they teach you everything you need to know about driving a truck, would highly recommend

Core driving were great! Staff were incredible and very good instructors. Can’t recommend them any higher!

Was an easy experience. Called,booked and then carried out the test. Good english speaking so was no trouble with understanding. Trainers were experienced and obviously have knowledge of the rules required to be a driver in that industry

Fitted me in at short notice. Stress-free instruction that helped me feel very confident for the assessment. Would recommend.

Was a very well put together course did my hr RR had Issac as my trainer who worked with me and was able to fix up all my weaknesses in down shifting. Highly recommend coming here to get your truck license of any kind.

Massive shoutout to Isaak and Tyron at CORE Driving School. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience getting my HC licence. The guys are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and make the teaching feel seamless yet purposeful.What I liked most is they treat you like family, not just as another customer. You can tell they genuinely want you to succeed within reasonable safety measures. Couldn’t recommend CORE enough! Thanks to the team down there!

Had a great experience learning about the trucks, assessors are heaps friendly and clear with instructions. Would recommend to anyone who's looking to get a truck license

Amazing experience! A big thank you to Isaac, Frank, and Bill. They are very friendly, patient, and great instructors. They taught me so many valuable things about driving an HR truck and helped me build my confidence. I really appreciate their support and highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their HR licence. Thank you, guys!

Was very clear with training and assessment was very professional

The crew at CORE driving school were unbelievably professional and knowledgeable. They helped me with my LR licence, and special thanks to Frank annd bill who were awesome. Will definitely recommend d to everyone 🙂

I first went through Core Truck Driving School a couple of years ago to get my Heavy Combination (HC) licence, and returning recently to remove the Condition B restriction was an easy choice.I had Ty as my trainer and assessor, and honestly, you couldn't ask for someone more knowledgeable, patient, and straight-shooting. Taming the Road Ranger gearbox is no small feat, but Ty’s clear feedback and practical teaching style gave me the technique and confidence needed to pass the assessment without second-guessing myself.Huge thank you to Ty and the entire team at Core Truck Driving School for running such a professional operation. I'll definitely be seeing you again when it's time for the next upgrade!

Excellent training. Did Heavy Rigid and got a lot of hours behind the wheel of a prime mover as well as learning ropes, straps and chains. Lots of useful knowledge from experienced instructors that I can take away and put into practice on the road.

Excellent school, the people are very friendly and super attentive

Dis the job very well

Great driving school, very kind and helped me get my LR license successfully. Would recommend! Bill my instructor was very helpful and informative

Fantastic. Very helpful very friendly. Would definitely recommend for truck licences

I highly recommend Core Truck Driving School. I had no previous experience driving a MC, but after completing the training and assessment, I now feel confident and comfortable driving and safely reversing a B-double.A big thank you to the guys for the effort, patience and time they put into training me today. They did a great job explaining everything and making sure I understood what I was doing.Very happy with the training and would definitely recommend Core Truck Driving School to anyone looking to get their MC licence. 👍

Absolutely fantastic experience with Core Truck Driving School. I completed my training over two days, upgrading my license from HR Synchro to MC Unrestricted, and honestly, I couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough.A lot of training providers focus on teaching you the basics you need to pass the assessment. Isaak and his amazing team go far beyond that. They teach you the skills, knowledge and fundamentals to become a better, safer and more confident driver — things that genuinely go beyond what you’ll find in a handbook or assessment.Day 1 – HC Crash BoxGoing into the first day, I had little to no experience driving a crash box. Isaak took the time to teach me all the fundamentals and, on top of the required training, showed me how to hook up and unhook a dolly trailer, correctly use ropes and ratchets, and understand the importance of safety when securing and handling equipment.I’m sure some of my bad driving habits probably drove him up the wall — especially the famous “BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL!” 😂 — which I’m pretty sure I heard about 100 times! But his patience, consistency and firmness genuinely helped me become a better driver and ultimately helped me pass.Day 2 – MC UnrestrictedHaving the same trainer for both days was fantastic because Isaak already knew where I was at and what I needed to work on.The morning started with something that isn’t necessarily part of the final assessment but is incredibly valuable to know — reversing a B-Double. Working in an industry where this is required, it was something I was extremely grateful to learn. Who else would have taken the time to teach me that if it wasn’t for trainers like these?We then went out on the road and worked on the correct techniques for entering roundabouts, left- and right-hand turns, challenging roads and situations that really pushed me to become a safer and more capable heavy vehicle driver.I was also taught the correct procedures for uncoupling and protecting the equipment, along with so many little tips and pieces of knowledge that I know will stay with me throughout my career.Honestly, words don’t really do justice to how grateful I am to Isaak and the whole team at Core Truck Driving School. They didn’t just teach me how to pass a test — they taught me how to be a better, safer driver and how to look after myself, other road users and the equipment I’m responsible for.And just as importantly, they were genuinely great human beings. The knowledge, patience, humour and care they showed throughout the two days made the whole experience even better.If you’re looking at getting your HC, MC or upgrading your heavy vehicle license, I would 100% recommend Core Truck Driving School. You won’t just leave with a licence — you’ll leave with skills and knowledge that can make you a safer driver for years to come.Thank you so much, guys, for everything you taught me! If I could give you more stars then I would!!P.S. Isaak is the bestest human in the entire universe!! 😂❤️

Great experience, felt relaxed and confident while upgrading from HR to HC licence with them. Ty and Isaac know their stuff! And great for any questions I had

Great trainer center.Thanks Branko

Frank and Branko were very personable and easy to get along. Frank was a great teacher and had lots of tips for me to become a better driver. Branko was a very fair assessor and eagle eyed. Very grateful to the two of them for everything they had to teach me.
