Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do to acquire a Heavy Vehicle Licence?
First of all you need to hold your car licence for 1 year if you are applying for a MR licence, and 2 years if you are moving straight from a car licence to a HR.
If you have held a HR licence for 12 months then you can either upgrade to a HC class or head straight into one of our 2 day B-Double courses.
It helps if you have already completed your written test at Queensland Transport, however this is not entirely necessary for you to start your lessons.
How many lessons do I need?
As each individual is different, the learning time can vary from person to person.
However we generally find most people take about 3 lessons and a lesson before the driving test at Queensland Transport for LR to MR vehicles, and 6-10 lessons (7 on average) for HR and HC.
Can you book my test for me?
Yes! We like to organise your test so we can ensure that the vehicle and your instructor is available to accompany you for the test.
What is a booking fee?
A booking fee of $60.00 (including TMR test fee of $57.90) when we book with Queensland Transport for your practical exam.
Other expenses include the Written Test Fee of $24.75. The written test consists of 10 multiple choice questions and can be completed before or after your practical driving test (prices subject to change).
How do I pay for my lesson?
We accept Eftpos, Cash, Direct Deposit and Cheques. All lessons are to be paid for on the day or in advance.
Where do I attend lessons?
8 Spoto Street, Woree. Your last lesson will be at Qld Transport office on Kenny St, Portsmith just prior to your practical driving test.
What else can you offer?
CMT Training can offer nationally recognised Statements of Attainment, fatigue management training, load restraint training, courses in completing work diaries, chain of responsibility courses, and female instructors in all classes of licence.
How long should an RTO's course be for MC licensing?
TMR accepts the current industry standard for delivery of TLIC4006 Drive MC Vehicle for a class HR driver licence holder as being at least 2 days (16 hours) training and assessment with a minimum 2 hours on-road final competency assessment. The final on-road competency assessment is separate to any on-road training provided in the MC vehicle.
