The theory component of the course is a 3-hour session delivered in a classroom format, normally on a weekend or in the evening.

For those students upgrading from HR only, we provide a 3-hour familiarisation with articulated vehicles in a Heavy Combination (HC).

The practical component of the course is conducted one-to-one and scheduled as a full 9-hour day.  The day begins with practical training in the yard to complete reversing and coupling/uncoupling trailers, followed by the on-road driving component.

Please note that all students are different and some students may require additional training to achieve competency. We will discuss arrangements for additional training and assessment on a case by case basis.

Course materials
We provide all materials required for the course, including a student handbook for reference.

Trainers
Our trainers are all Accredited Instructors, have extensive industry experience and a track record of delivering quality training.  We emphasise a friendly and relaxed approach, and provide the support necessary for students to successfully complete their training.

Recommended number of lessons
Allan Miller Driving School provides 3 hours of classroom instruction and 9 hours of practical driving instruction to assist you in attaining your MC from an HC licence. When you go from an HR to MC we require you to complete a pre-evaluation in an HC vehicle first (at additional cost).

We believe training is most effective using the equipment the student will be using on the job, and we therefore offer the option to conduct training using your safe, roadworthy and 75% loaded B-double.

Assessment
Assessment is competency-based, and is a combination of written assessment of knowledge and practical demonstration of skills.
