MC Licence Conditions

There are 3 types of Multi Combination Licence – these are different because of their conditions (gearbox restrictions).

Multi Combination Unconditional

No restrictions on gearbox – can drive any MC vehicle with an Automatic, Synchromesh or Non Synchromesh gearbox i.e. double clutching technique.

Multi Combination Condition B (MCB)

Can drive MC vehicle with a Manual (Synchromesh) or Automatic gearbox only.

Multi Combination Condition A (MCA)

Can drive MC vehicle with an Automatic gearbox only.

What can I drive with an MC driving licence?

Usually called a B-Double or Road Train, an MC multi combination vehicle is defined as a vehicle towing more than 1 trailer. Once you’ve been issued an MC licence, you’re legally able to drive any heavy combination unit towing one or more trailers — each having a gross vehicle mass of greater than 9 tonnes. You must have held an HR or HC licence for at least 12 months to be eligible for your MC truck licence.

With the MC licence class, all training and assessment is done with us as partner with RAISE Training RTO 91655 an accredited RTO.

Read More

The Assessment for the MC licence is competency-based and is a combination of written assessment of knowledge and practical demonstration of skills as opposed to a practical driving test with an examiner from TMR.

Our experienced instructors train and assess you to an industry standard as outlined in the unit of competency for Multi Combination TLIC4006 – Drive multi-combination vehicle.

Tips About This Licence

A lot of students like this pathway because it is a competency based training course, completed with us as a partner with RAISE Training RTO 91655, as opposed to doing the driving test with the Department of Transport and Main Roads.

On this course we can cover off on all gearbox codes – automatic, synchromesh or non-synchromesh, whatever you need.

If you do not feel confident or have limited experience, we would highly recommend doing your HC and getting some trailer experience and completing your MC later.

Training will be done in what vehicle?

If you currently hold a HR or HC Unconditional Licence – your training and assessment can be done in any vehicle with an Automatic, Manual or Non-Synchromesh gearbox.

If you currently hold a HR or HC Condition A or Condition B Licence – during your training and assessment you must demonstrate competent operation of a vehicle with a Non-Synchromesh gearbox.

Lifting a Gearbox Restriction

For someone that is looking to remove the B Condition from their licence which will allow you to drive vehicles with a Road Ranger (Non-Synchromesh) gearbox, we have a number of pathways available depending on your experience and preference.

The Multi Combination course we offer really focuses on what is involved in being the driver of an MC vehicle itself i.e. – reading maps, work diaries, permits, skills involved in reversing 2 trailers, pre-checks, coupling and uncoupling trailers etc. Therefore, your MC training will be conducted in one of our Automated Manual Vehicles (AMT) which are industry relevant vehicles.

The cost of the course above does not include any extra training that may be needed to lift a gearbox restriction from your licence.

This training can be conducted by extending the HC portion of the HR to MC course and completing the HC training and assessment in our truck that is fitted with an 18 Speed Road Ranger Gearbox. This will be completed prior to commencing the MC training in one of the AMT MC vehicles.

The other option which is open to both HR to MC and HC to MC upgrades, is to undertake additional training in one of our HR Road Ranger vehicles. In consultation with you, we will determine when you are ready to undertake a driving assessment in the Road Ranger Vehicle.

Outcome

Licence outcome will be an MC Unconditional (Can drive any MC vehicle, Non-synchromesh, Synchromesh and Automatic Gearboxes)

Job Opportunities

The MC unconditional Licence is the pinnacle class of Licence it is possible to hold. It will provide the maximum potential job opportunities.

      MC - Lifting a Gearbox Restriction

      For someone that is unfamiliar with the operation of a road ranger (Non-Synchromesh) gearbox, we have found that trying to focus on the aspects of the MC course whilst trying to master the double clutching technique tends to dilute the training course and students end up tired and frustrated. This situation is made even worse for students coming from a HR that have no previous experience with reversing trailers.

      The Multi Combination course we offer really focuses on what is involved in being the driver of a MC vehicle itself i.e. – reading maps, work diaries, permits, skills involved in reversing 2 trailers, pre-checks, coupling and uncoupling trailers etc.

      There is just not enough time built into this course to cover off on everything that is involved in being a competent MC driver as well as enough hours for you to lift a gearbox restriction off your Licence at the same time. Given that the MC course is only 1 – 2 days and the average number of hours to get competent with a non-synchromesh / road ranger gearbox is 12.

      Therefore, the cost of your course does not include any extra training that may be needed to lift a gearbox restriction from your licence. This training will be charged at the current hourly for HR or HC non synchromesh training as required, in consultation with yourself as you progress through your course.
