Course Information

This course is designed for people wishing to obtain their Medium Rigid licence with the plan of becoming a bus driver in the future.

The course is completed over two days, maximizing the chance of you obtaining your Medium Rigid Driving Licence, but also receiving sufficient time & experience behind the wheel to increase the chance of your success at attaining a job in the bus industry.

The course is also designed to give you confidence during your interview that you have given yourself the best opportunity of getting that job.

Liam from Connect Coaches has been involved in the Bus & Coach Industry for over 28 years so the two days spent with him will give you ample opportunity to ask many questions about your new career path plan.

The course is not designed around the "one day wonder" mentality that many other driving schools offer, but real experience.

Connect Coaches will provide one 28-seated mid-size coach for both the training & assessment components of the course

 

Final Assessment:

Connect Coaches will provide and arrange for a separate assessor for final assessment. The final assessment will be filmed via an in-cabin video as per Roads & Maritime requirements. This video can later be audited by the Roads & Maritime Services.

The final assessment is conducted by a separate assessor over a minimum of 45 minutes but can take up to 70 minutes, depending on the route and traffic conditions

 

Unsuccessful Final Assessment :

Connect Coaches conducts its courses over two days to reduce the chance of applicants requiring a second assessment by giving more on-road time in the vehicle and improving the confidence of the applicant.

The Connect Coaches instructor has the responsibility of doing everything possible to achieve a successful outcome during this assessment.

However, Connect Coaches cannot be responsible for an applicant making errors due to nerves or any other reason.

If the final assessment is deemed unsuccessful, a second assessment can be completed an hour later
This assessment can also be completed on another day if the applicant or the trainer feel that this may help achieve the result required
A second assessment will incur a fee of $200 for the hire of the vehicle and for the second assessor's fee

 

Completion of Training & Assessment :

At the completion of the final assessment, the applicant will be issued a Certificate of Competency by the assessor to take back to the RMS to obtain your heavy vehicle license.
