How Getting Your Licence Works

Step 1

Meet the Prerequisites

To apply for an LR licence, you must have held a C licence for at least one year.

Step 1

Step 2

Get the Right Skills

Talk to a driving school (like us) to find out what level of training you need to get your licence.

Some students with prior experience can refresh their skills and take their driving tests in as little as a day.

Others may need several lessons over a number of days.

Step 2

Step 3

Book Your Test

Once you’re confident about your driving skills, contact us by phone, email or form to book your driving test.

You can also book your test before your training if you’re doing one of our Licence in a Day courses.

If you don’t already have a heavy vehicle licence, you’ll need to book a knowledge test through TMR too. You’ll need to get 8 out of 10 multiple-choice questions right to pass.

Step 3

Step 4

Take Your Test

On the day of your test, make sure you bring your current C licence. (If you have a temporary licence, you’ll need extra identification.)

Expect your LR practical test to take 25 to 35 minutes.

Step 4

Our Sunshine Coast Training Location

You’ll learn the skills you need for your licence at 5 Nolan Drive, Morayfield (around 45 minutes’ drive from Maroochydore).

It’s a purpose-built training facility operated by Major Training, one of Australia’s leading machinery course providers.

I recently completed my practical training with Tim to get my LR licence, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Tim was very polite, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process. Thanks to his guidance and support, I passed the test on my first attempt!

Highly recommend this company and especially Tim for anyone looking to get their licence.

LR Licence FAQs

How many lessons will I need before I can take the test?

Most students need 3 to 5 lessons to successfully pass their LR driving tests. Everyone is different, though. The easiest way to see how many you need is to book an introductory lesson with one of our drivers. They can then gauge your skillset and recommend a training plan.

Do I need to do a knowledge test too?

Yes, you do. You can book and pay for your knowledge test at one of the Queensland government’s transport and motoring customer service centres. (There are 6 on the Sunshine Coast.)

To pass, you’ll need to get 8 out of 10 multiple choice questions right. As of August 2025, the test costs $28.70 (due on the day). Make sure you also bring proof of your identity.

What happens if I fail?

If you don’t pass your driving test, you’re welcome to rebook at the next available opening. Because we charge for our instructors’ time and the use of our vehicles, we don’t offer refunds or free second attempts. Don’t worry, though – 85% of our students pass on their first attempt, so there’s a very good chance that you will too.

When do I need to pay for my course?

Your full course fee will be due around 2 weeks before your start date. We’ll contact you when it’s time to pay.

What happens if I’m sick on the day?

If you can’t attend your course/lesson, please call or email to let us know. Keep in mind that, under our terms and conditions, you may not be entitled to a full refund if:

  • you give less than 24 hours’ notice; or
  • less than 3 days’ notice for mid-week practical driving tests and Licence in a Day courses.
