I recently completed my MC truck licence with Shane and the training and service was second to none.

Two full days of driving and then the test and passed with flying colours. Fast processing of my statement of attainment being sent to me the next day.

I highly recommend The driving school if you are looking at obtaining or upgrading your truck licence.

WOW, what a smooth process The Driving School Arundel made it for me to obtain my MC License!! The Girls in office fantastic with all information you will need at start.

My trainer Shane not only had so much knowledge of the industry that will definately help me on my journey as a driver, he was so professional in his accessment of my skills.

Few jokes and laughs however, Shane was always on que with any important information I needed to know on our drive. Shane new the roads we drove on very well which helped me immensley however, get ready for the M1 traffic which will help you also.

Use this company if you want a fair and proffesional experience!!! 5+ stars for sure.

VOC and Refresher Training FAQs

What do you cover in your refresher training?

It depends on the individual driver. We’ll generally go over things like:

  • the basics of driving a heavy vehicle
  • pre-operational checks
  • reversing
  • coupling and uncoupling trailers
  • industry-specific procedures
  • defensive driving
  • load security and axle weights
  • emergency procedures
  • vehicle management
  • vehicle and road safety (and related regulations)
  • fatigue management, work diaries, and permitting.

Is a verification of competency a formal certificate?

A VOC isn’t a formal certification in the way that obtaining a licence is. It’s a recognition from an accredited training provider that a licence-holder has the right skill level to do whatever they’re licensed to do. 

Do you teach Roadranger (non-synchromesh) gearboxes?

Yes, we do. Our non-synchromesh Hino 700 Series truck is ideal for drivers who currently hold unrestricted HR, HC or MC licences. If you’re interested in upskilling your staff so they can drive Roadranger gearboxes, get in touch with us to ask about the most cost-effective pathways.  

Where do you recommend training take place?

Generally, it’s a good idea for training to take place in the same place that your staff actually work. That allows us to tailor the training to their current working environment, as well as identify any location-specific issues that could be affecting their performance. Our instructors are based in Morayfield, which means we’re less than an hour’s drive from most parts of the Sunshine Coast.
