Licence conditions
The vehicle you test in determines your transmission condition:
A
Automatic only
Test in an automatic vehicle — licence restricted to automatic transmission.
B
Synchromesh
Test in a synchromesh manual — drive any synchromesh gearbox vehicle.
—
Unrestricted
Test in a crash (non-synchro) gearbox vehicle — no transmission restriction.
What you'll get: We train and test in automatic vehicles, so your licence will carry an A (automatic only) condition. The B and unrestricted conditions above are shown for reference — talk to us if you need a manual assessment.

Common questions
What can I drive with an HR licence?
Rigid vehicles with three or more axles and a GVM over 15 tonnes — including large freight trucks and buses — plus everything an MR licence covers.
Can I skip MR and go straight to HR?
Yes. If you've held your Class C licence for at least 2 years and meet the medical requirements, you can train for HR directly without holding MR first.
What is the knowledge test like?
It's a multiple-choice heavy vehicle knowledge test at a TMR centre — you need at least 8 out of 10 correct. We'll point you to the right study material before you sit it.
Do you offer group or workplace training?
Yes — alongside one-on-one training we offer mobile group training options, ideal for employers upskilling several drivers at once. Group programs are quoted per job: send an enquiry through our contact page or call 0490 861 800 and we'll scope it with you.
