Spoke to Aaron last minute about training a cpl of our drivers on site and he was able to fit us in no probs.
He came out on site and spent 2 hours each with the guys and they were able to manoeuvre our truck and dog much better!
Aaron is a top bloke and a great teacher... Cant teach an old dog new tricks? I think he's proven them wrong!

Thanks again Aaron!

I completed my training with Aaron. I was incredibly impressed with how thorough he was with all aspects of the training. He made sure I understood everything we went through, was very patient and explained things in a way I will always remember. He made the whole process enjoyable.  Thanks Aaron, I will be back next year when Im ready to upgrade to a heavy combination!

Shout out to Aaron for his exceptional professional service and training with my husband. From start to finish Aaron was helpful, patient and even though his prices may seem higher than other companies he is worth every penny. Cannot say enough great things and a big thank you for your patience with me as i did phone a lot and after hours but every time you made yourself available and answered all our questions. Thank you again

I had Aaron as my trainer and Tony as my tester.  Both were very clear with instruction and communicated well.
Aaron was a fantastic trainer, he kept me relaxed and focused and got me into a good rhythm of driving very quickly.
He made the rules and techniques required very easy to remember and made me feel really comfortable and well prepared for the test.
The day was very enjoyable and not stressful as I was expecting!!
I’ll definitely be using them for any licence upgrades in the future, can’t recommend them enough!!

The boys at Macarthur driver training are a fantastic and down to earth group of people.
I can honestly say that I had a great time throughout each process and steps involved in order to upgrade my licence thanks to these guys.
In one day I done my practice test and practical also had time to go to the local RMS and upgrade to a truck licence

Frequently asked questions

Contact us as soon as possible and we will provide you with all the options specific to your needs

We provide automatic vehicles (this will put a B condition restriction on your licence) & we also provide road ranger (manual) vehicles.

The minimum requirements are between 5 and 8 hours depending on the class of licence you require. As everyone learns at a different pace, some students may require more training.

Yes. There is a final assessment after the training has been completed. Under RMS rules the trainer cannot be the same person to perform the final assessment. We provide the assessor that will conduct your assessment.

Please bring your learners logbook, your licence, something to drink and wear some comfortable shoes like sneakers.

We accept cash, direct bank transfer, paypal or Stripe (credit cards)*

*Fees apply

You will need to go to your nearest RMS (tfNSW) service centre & have your learners logbook changed to the logbook you want to attempt. For example you have an MR logbook but would like to attempt HR.  tfNSW will charge you a fee for the change of mind but you will not have to redo the rigid DKT.

The driving part of the training is one on one but some of the “out of truck” training may be done in a group situation.

Yes there is. You can elect to undergo a Competency test where no training is provided and you have to demonstrate all 13 criteria detailed in your guide book.**

**Only applies to LR, MR, HR

A “CT” (Competency Test) is a test of your previous knowledge of the 13 criteria set out in your guide. If you can demonstrate competency in all 13 criteria and successfully pass the final assessment, you may not need to do the entire course. You are eligible for this with LR, MR and HR only.

* Strict conditions apply

No you don’t. There will be a rebooking fee to do the final assessment only.

The minimum wait time is an hour so usually the retest can be performed the same day

No. After your training you will be tested by an accredited RMS assessor which we provide

Yes you can. There are strict conditions that have to be met if you choose to do so. We provide vehicles specifically setup to provide the training and assessment that is required.

If you currently have a B-Condition restriction on your licence you are restricted to automatic and synchromesh vehicles only. We provide the vehicle and training required to pass the final assessment.  Once you have passed the final assessment, you will receive a certificate of competency which you will take to the RMS to get your licence endorsed as unrestricted.
