If you currently have a truck licence or have been involved in the transport industry you may be eligible to RPL some or all of the units in the Certificate III in Driving Operations qualification. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) simply means that your previous skills and experience will be recognised without the need for more study - getting you on the road sooner. Click here for more information on RPL or talk to us to see if you qualify. Get qualified in as little as two (2) weeks depending on your skills and experience.

Duration

The in class study program is delivered over approximately 10 weeks, with classes scheduled for the first 7 weeks.  The last three weeks are spent completing assessment tasks and practical training in your choice of truck. Classes start every week - call for our timetable. 

Students who qualify for RPL can complete in as little as two (2) weeks depending on your skills and experience. Please talk to us about your individual circumstances.

Course can also be delivered by distance education with only the practical training and assessment elements delivered on site - a great option if you are unable to attend class or not eligible for RPL.

Location

All training will be delivered at Shift Training – 26 - 30 Quilton Place Crestmead 4132

Delivery Method

Training is delivered face to face in small groups to ensure you have plenty of interaction with your trainer. Distance education is also available. All driving lessons are one on one.

Support Services

We are committed to helping you achieve your study goals – all students will have access to the trainer throughout the program as a contact point for any technical or process support in developing competencies.  Each student will be screened in terms of their literacy and numeracy levels coming into the program and will be supported in those areas according to their individual needs.  Where we cannot provide sufficient support, students will be referred to a suitable TAFE program to develop their reading and writing skills.
