Class 5 Truck Licence
Take the final step in your heavy vehicle licence career and get your Class 5 full licence immediately after getting your Class 5 learner licence. We provide from 1-3 hours of coaching to ensure you are prepared for your 1 hour practical assessment. This is our point of difference to set our trainees up for success.
This course allows drivers to fast-track their Class 5 Truck Driver Licence without waiting 6 months (or 3 months, if aged 25 or over) from when they get their Learner Licence. We will coach you on the theory and assess your skills to drive a heavy combination vehicle with a gross combined weight of more than 25,000kg.
We provide truck hire at an additional cost, if you are providing your own truck it will need to be loaded to 50% payload. Contact us to learn more.
Prerequisites
- Class 5 learners’ licence (we will need a copy when booking your course). Please bring it with you on the day. To get your Class 5 learners, you must have held your full NZ Class 4 licence for at least 6 months. Head to your nearest licencing agency with a current driver’s medical (unless one has been presented in the last 5 years,) pass your Class 5 Learner theory test, and contact us to book.
- Trucks and transmissions differ from branch to branch. If you have a preference, please let us know.
