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, pre start checks, 70 metre long reverse, coupling and uncoupling of rear trailer, load restraints as well as on road training and assessment.
