How to Upgrade a heavy vehicle Licence

📢 Pre-Course Requirements:

🔹 ACT & NSW Licence Holders: You must complete the knowledge test before your training date.

·  ACT: Complete at The Road Ready Centre located in Mitchell or Kambah. There is a practice test online which we recommend you use as a study tool prior to attempting the test (About the licence knowledge trainer).

📌If you already hold an LR or MR licence, you are NOT required to complete the ACT knowledge test again.

·  NSW: Complete at your local Service Centre and obtain a learner logbook for competencies. There is a practice test available on the Service NSW website (Transport for NSW).

📌 If you already hold an LR or MR licence,  and it is NO MORE THAN 3 YEARS old you are NOT required to complete the NSW knowledge test again but will be required to have a Service NSW HVCBA logbook issued for the HR.

Licence Upgrade Process:

·  ACT Licence Holders: After successfully completing your final drive assessment, you will receive a competency certificate. You must submit this, along with your commercial medical and knowledge test results, to Access Canberra to update your licence.

·  NSW Licence Holders: After passing the final drive assessment, you will receive a competency sheet to submit to NSW RMS to upgrade your licence.

• In some cases, the assessment may be conducted under a HRV (Heavy Vehicle Competency-Based Assessment) system where your trainer also acts as the assessor. If assessed this way, there is a 24-hour waiting period before our RTO can issue approval for your competency certificate to be issued.
