Previous Experience

There are no prerequisites with regard to driving experience, however the 1-day course is not recommended for people with little or no experience with a semi-trailer.

The standards expected to obtain your MC qualification are quite rigid. Attending this course does not guarantee a licence. Full compliance to the RMS standards must be achieved.

Course Structure

The one-day course is run as a 1:1 instructor to student ratio. There is classroom training, prestart checks, 70-meter-long reverse, coupling and uncoupling of rear trailer, load restraints as well as on road training and assessment.
