Learning to drive a heavy vehicle

Once you have your learner's permit, you can have driving lessons with:

• a licensed driving instructor who holds the same or higher class of driver's licence for which you are applying; or
  
  
• a person who holds a current driver's licence and has held for at least 4 years the class of driver's licence that you are applying for.

In addition to the above, applicants for an MC class are also able to take driving lessons with registered training organisations that are authorised to conduct MC training and assessment courses. You must pay all costs for the training course and you may find these vary from provider to provider.

As a learner you must always display 'L' plates and comply with any other conditions of the permit.
