Excel Training QLD is here to help you move forward. Our industry-leading HC truck licence training equips you with the confidence and skills to drive heavy combination vehicles and unlock new career opportunities.
Are you looking to upgrade your skills or change your career? Excel Training offers top-notch training to help you earn your Heavy Combination (HC) truck licence.
This training is designed for drivers who already hold a Medium or Heavy Rigid licence and want to enhance their skills. You will learn how to drive Heavy Rigid vehicles safely and professionally, which is essential if you plan to operate a semi-trailer, such as in “truck and pig” or “truck and dog” combinations. We don’t set a minimum or maximum number of lessons; we provide whatever you need to be test-ready.
For the test, a Heavy Combination vehicle can be a prime mover with more than 15 tonnes Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and at least three axles, paired with a semi-trailer that has a minimum of two axles. With this qualification, you will also be able to drive trailers over nine tonnes GVM.

Airport driving school were excellent from start to finish in helping me pass my bus test today. My instructor Valise was great, patient and explained everything very well from the first lessons to the last one.
My driving instructor was fantastic; calm, patient and encouraging! I would recommend her to anybody looking to start driving lessons. Respect to you for making this dream possible into reality.
