Heavy Vehicle Driver Training

Introduction

Before you can drive a heavy vehicle, you need to have the appropriate licence for the class of vehicle. You can then drive any class of vehicle below your licence class, with the exception of motorcycles.

Before you apply for, or upgrade a heavy vehicle licence, you need to complete the appropriate knowledge test at a service centre. Then, depending on your location, you can either pay for a heavy vehicle competency based assessment (HVCBA) from a Registered Training Organisation or pay and book the Transport for NSW (TfNSW) heavy vehicle driving test.

After completing the HVCBA or passing the driving test, you then return to a service centre for the licence.

Applying for HVCBA

 

If you want to get your license through HVCBA, follow these steps:

1. Go to a Service NSW service center in person.

2. Fill out a License Application form.

3. Provide acceptable proof of identity.

4. Take an eyesight test, unless exempt.

5. If applicable, provide a medical assessment report.

6. Pass the knowledge test for the license class you want.

7. Pay the appropriate fee.

Once completed, you'll receive a Heavy Vehicle HVCBA Learner's Log Book and a Guide to Heavy Vehicle Competency Based Assessment publication.

The Guide will outline the tasks you need to complete for the training course and assessment.

Your progress will be recorded in the log book. For more information, refer to the HVCBA Learner's Log Book. Afterward, choose a Registered Training Organization (RTO) and schedule your training sessions.

Welcome to the Connect Coaches  website the Bus & Coach experts

 We cater to everyone who is interested in obtaining a bus licence. Whether you're a beginner or looking to upgrade your current licence, we can help you achieve your goals.

Before you dive into the licence upgrade, we recommend starting with the Bus Authority course. It is a more cost-effective option compared to the complete licence upgrade.

It's better to be informed upfront rather than finding out later that you may not be eligible to drive a bus due to health issues or a criminal record.

  1. To begin the process, there are a few steps you need to follow. First, we encourage you to do a criminal record check. This will ensure that you meet the required criteria for obtaining the Bus Authority licence. Click here to get started on your criminal record check.
  2. Next, please consult your doctor to have a medical report completed. This report will assess your physical fitness to drive a bus. Click here to access the medical report form.
  3. Finally, complete the training course to gain all the necessary knowledge and skills to become an accredited  bus Operator. Click here to enroll in the training course.
  4. By following these steps, you'll be well-prepared and on your way to obtaining your Bus Authority licence.
  5. Choose the appropriate licence to suit the type of work in the bus industry pathway that your choosing to follow

  Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to book your training course. We look forward to helping you achieve your bus driving goals!

For over twenty years, Connect Coaches has been a trusted provider of training courses for schools. Our expertise in the field is evident as we currently provide training for numerous private schools on the Northern beaches and the Central Coast.

When you choose Connect Coaches for your school bus training, you can expect to practice in a modern bus or coach that closely resembles the private buses owned by most schools.

This ensures that once you obtain your license, you will feel confident and at ease when operating a school bus for the first time.

Schools often opt for smaller mini buses such as the Mitsubushi Rosa, Toyota Coasters, and Toyota HiAce, which fall under the Light Rigid License category.

However, larger buses like Higer, BCI, and Yutong have gained popularity in recent times. These buses can fall under either the Medium Rigid or Light Rigid License, depending on their Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM).

To determine the appropriate license category, you can refer to the vehicle's Registration Papers, which will provide all necessary information.

Trust Connect Coaches to provide comprehensive training solutions to meet the needs of everyone involved.


Light Rigid licenses cover vehicles with a GVM ranging from 4.5 to 8 tonnes.

Welcome to our website! We cater to everyone, and we want to ensure that you have all the necessary information to complete your competency 13 Load Security requirement.

At our website, we want to make sure that everyone has access to the information they need, including those who are interested in using their own vehicle for assessments and tests.

While it is possible to use your own vehicle, there are certain requirements that must be met.

Firstly, your vehicle must be registered and roadworthy. Additionally, it must be the appropriate type of vehicle for the license class you are applying for. For the test, your vehicle must have a lap-sash retractable seat belt fitted to the front passenger seat, except for MR and HR buses.

If you are applying for HR, HC, or MC license tests, there are further minimum standards that must be met. For HR, your test vehicle must be at least a 3-axle rigid vehicle with a GVM of more than 15 tonnes. For HC, it must be at least a 3-axle prime mover with a minimum 2-axle semi-trailer or a heavy rigid vehicle plus trailer over nine tonnes GVM. And for MC (HVCBA assessments only), the test vehicle must be at least a 3-axle prime mover with an A and B trailer, each with bogie axles.

It is important to note that test vehicles must be loaded to at least 75% of the maximum allowable mass, except for buses.

There are certain vehicles that cannot be used for testing and assessment, such as armoured security vehicles, vehicles carrying dangerous goods or livestock, vehicles displaying traders' number plates, and vehicles that are not suitable for safe use. If you are assessed for your heavy vehicle license in a vehicle with an automatic or synchromesh gearbox, a condition will be added to your license. To have this condition removed, you must be assessed driving a vehicle fitted with a constant mesh gearbox. We hope this information helps you understand the requirements for using your own vehicle for assessments and tests.

Welcome to Connect Coaches, your trusted heavy vehicle training and assessment provider. Our highly skilled trainer and assessor, Liam Green, is accredited to provide training for a variety of licence classes including Light Rigid, Medium Rigid, Heavy Rigid, Heavy Combination, and Bus Authority. While we currently offer training with vehicles in the Light Rigid and Medium Rigid classes, Liam is more than willing to conduct training using a vehicle provided by the client or company. Rest assured, at Connect Coaches, we are committed to helping everyone from all walks of life achieve their heavy vehicle licensing goals.

Are you preparing to obtain your heavy vehicle licence? If so, it's important to understand the conditions that may be imposed on your licence based on the type of gearbox you are assessed with. If you complete your course using a vehicle with an automatic or synchromesh gearbox, a condition known as Automatic/Synchromesh Condition B will be added to your licence. This condition restricts you to driving vehicles with a similar transmission. To have this condition removed, you must undergo an assessment while driving a vehicle equipped with a constant mesh gearbox. This assessment can be done either through a Competency Test with an accredited HVCBA provider, or a shortened version of a Roads and Maritime driving test. While the B endorsement on your licence allows you to drive automatic vehicles and those with synchromesh gearboxes, you will not be able to operate a constant mesh gearbox vehicle such as a Crashbox or Road Ranger gearbox. For any further inquiries or clarifications, do not hesitate to contact Liam at 0417281545.

Welcome to our website, where we provide valuable information about the Final Competency Assessment (FCA) that is suitable for everyone. The FCA is an evaluation conducted by a separate Assessor, ensuring a fair assessment process. It typically lasts for a minimum of 45 minutes, although most assessments are approximately 1 hour long. We understand that many applicants experience anxiety about the assessment, but rest assured that with the proper training and preparation, the assessment should not feel overly challenging. Our aim is to provide the necessary resources and support for a successful and stress-free FCA experience. Contact us today to learn more!
