Information about HEAVY ENDORSEMENTS
The DRIVER TRAINING ACADEMY provides courses to prepare students for truck and bus Licences.
The test contains three segments; the on road drive, the off road manoeuvring skills and the theory component.
The structure of our program tends to make learning efficient and pleasurable. This in turn reduces the overall cost and increases the standard of the student's driving ability.
The successful graduate of this course will be well prepared for the licence test, and will have an understanding of the important issues of driving a larger vehicle.
NOTE: Some medical conditions prevent drivers from obtaining a category variation on their licences. Please contact VicRoads for information.
