Heavy Vehicle Training – Rockhampton
Heavy Vehicle Training – Course Options
In Central Queensland, specifically Rockhampton, we can provide students with access to heavy vehicle licence training for the following licence classes:
- Heavy Combination (HC) Licence
- Multi Combination (MC) Licence
All training currently delivered in Rockhampton is conducted in crash box (Road Ranger) vehicles. Learning in a Road Ranger gearbox provides students with the most flexible licence outcome and ensures they are capable of operating manual heavy vehicles in real-world transport environments.

What's the first step?
The first step in upgrading your heavy vehicle licence in Queensland is completing the relevant knowledge test through Transport and Main Roads (TMR). Once this has been completed, training can be scheduled with our instructors.
About These Truck Licences
The heavy vehicle licensing system in Queensland differs slightly from NSW. Most heavy vehicle licence assessments are conducted directly through TMR testing centres, rather than entirely through a training organisation.
Our trainers provide the practical training required to prepare students for their licence test. Once students are ready, they are presented for testing through TMR.
The only licence we can fully assess ourselves is the Multi Combination (MC) licence, where we conduct the final competency assessment at the end of the training.
Training Structure
Training time varies depending on the licence class and the experience of the student. As a guide, typical training structures are:
- HR to MC Upgrade – Minimum 16 hours of training (usually over two days) followed by the final competency assessment conducted by our trainer.
- HC to MC Upgrade – Minimum 8 hours of training followed by the final competency assessment.
- HC Licence – Typically completed with a minimum of 9 hours training delivered in 3 hour sessions, followed by presentation for the TMR driving test.
Because HC licences must be tested through TMR in Central Queensland, there can sometimes be a waiting period for test availability. At present the wait time for a TMR HC test can be around five weeks, so we generally organise training in advance to align with the booked test date.

Competency Based Training
This is competency based training. The time allocated for training is based on our experience of what most students require to reach the necessary level of competency.
As everyone learns at different speeds, some participants may require additional training time before they are ready to undertake their licence assessment. If this occurs, additional training sessions may be required.
Payment Terms
- Payment is due in full prior to, or on the day of the training.
