Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
Thinking of getting your truck licence? Here’s a clear step-by-step guide explaining how the Heavy Vehicle Competency Based Assessment (HVCBA) system works in NSW, and how we run training at our facility.
Before you can begin truck driver training, you’ll need to:
Visit Service NSW and complete your Heavy Vehicle Knowledge Test.
Once you pass, you’ll receive your Heavy Vehicle Logbook and a User Guide.
These documents are essential – no RTO can commence training without them.
Once you have your logbook and guide, you are free to book with any accredited RTO in NSW — including us.

Our standard HR truck training day runs from 7:00am to 1:00pm including lunchbreak. Here’s how the day is structured:
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 7:00am – 12:30pm | Training Session – 5.5 hours of practical and theoretical learning, including a structured skills breakdown |
| 12:30pm – 1:00pm | Lunch Break – 30-minute rest break |
| 1:00pm – 3:00pm | Assessment Preparation & Final Assessment – paperwork completion, readiness checks, and final HVCBA handover to the independent assessor |
📌 Note: The trainer cannot conduct your final assessment. A second, independent assessor will perform your final HVCBA assessment, in line with Transport for NSW regulations.
Bring your logbook and photo ID to every session.
Training times may vary depending on progress and performance.
If additional training is required, we’ll work with you to schedule more hours.
Successful completion of the final assessment will allow you to upgrade your licence.
We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and professional training environment. Our qualified instructors will guide you every step of the way — from your first day to your final drive.
