Accelerated courses for heavy vehicle licences

Class 2-5 learner licence courses for persons 25 years of age or over

These courses are designed to assess the competence of a person 25 years of age or over to waive the requirement for that person to hold a full Class 2, 3 or 4 licence for three months by assessing the driving experience, knowledge and skills of that person.

Each course consists of similar elements.

1. The requirement of the driver to demonstrate that they have had experience driving a vehicle that requires either a Class 2, 3 or 4 since obtaining that class of full licence and,
2. Demonstrate their knowledge of safe driving of a heavy motor vehicle, by completing multi-choice questions.

Note – These courses allow for the accelerated progression of person over 25 only and do not eliminate the requirements for the driver to progress through the individual licence class.
