AVAILABLE PACKAGES: The HR Unrestricted course is conducted in 3 Stages:
At the completion of your training, you will be issued with a Statement of Attainment certificate which is nationally recognised and completes one of the units of competency which contributes to a Certificate III in Driving Operations. Stage 1 of your training will require you to complete an online information session prior to you commencing your Training block. This session will take you about 2 hours and will assist you to understand the truck you will be learning in as well as giving you important safety information prior to commencing your practical training session. You will be issued a login at the time of booking your course which will give you instant access to start this. Stage 2 of your training will require you to attend RMS where you complete a short information session with your instructor support followed by a written questionaire. You will then proceed to complete your practical training in the truck. On completion of your practical training, you will be required to complete a final questionaire before proceeding to your test. Stage 3 Once you have passed the practical requirement for the course you are eligible to sit the DOT licence test which is completed in house with an RMS assessor who is accredited with the Department of Transport. You will be allocated the next available test booking which may or may not be scheduled on the day of your training dependent on availability at the time. COURSE FEE: $1299.00 Course bookings can be made online which will register students for the introductory information session which is conducted at RMS. Upon attendance, your practical training can be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time. Please note: As the manual truck is fitted with a Road Ranger gearbox individual learning outcomes apply and generally the average hours to be test ready is between 8 - 12 hours, should it be determined you are not test ready at the completion of 8hrs we can offer further lessons in a 2 hr block at a cost of $240.00 per block. WHY CHOOSE RMS: A heavy vehicle licence has the potential to open up a range of opportunities in the Mining, Civil and Transport Industries and RMS are happy to give you our industry experience by sharing our knowledge of what companies are looking for in a heavy vehicle driver’s. To do this, firstly we believe that currency of equipment is paramount. This means that you need to learn and be familiar with vehicles that are currently being used in the industry by the industry leaders. RMS prides itself on providing a modern fleet of industry-accepted electronic equipped trucks for you to train in. With state of the art Euro 5 zero-emission trucks our commitment to the environment can also be noted. Our fleet consists of late-model Hino trucks with various gearbox configurations which you will experience making a more thorough training experience and contributing to you being more adaptable when it comes to your job searching. We like to make sure that our customers stand out from the rest! If you are wanting to improve your job prospects and not really sure of which licence to go for then we would always recommend where possible you don’t limit yourself by getting a restricted licence and wherever possible always aim for the unrestricted status. This will give you an open class licence and allow you to drive any type of truck automatic or manual in the HR class as well as trucks in the class below HR ie Medium Rigid (MR). The industry, however, is seeing more and more Automatic trucks coming into the marketplace which will see more opportunities present themselves as time goes on. Currently, the Automatic licence is generally acceptable for most Bus driving positions and Mining Haul Trucks, however, checking company requirements is always recommended before making a decision. Our experience has shown us that on average people tend to take a certain number of hours to get to a satisfactory level of being able to pass their driving test first time. Anything under often may result in a less than adequate result. Currently, RMS has a 94% pass rate. For obvious reasons, the Automatic licence is generally the quickest and the cheapest with the unrestricted manual taking longer but giving you more coverage of what you are authorised to drive. As a general guide to achieve practical competency or test readiness for the Automatic is usually approx 4hrs practical tuition. Competency for the unrestricted Manual truck can be individual, however, on average competency is generally achieved within 8 – 12 hrs practical tuition. In pursuit of giving you varied exposure and a stress-free introduction to truck driving your first lesson is always conducted in a restricted vehicle. This allows you to focus on those areas of safety, size of the vehicle, cabin controls, road positioning and pre-starts without having to be distracted by trying to navigate a gearbox you are not familiar with. The commonality of our truck fleet ensures that whichever truck you are in you will see the same cabin features and controls with no difference between trucks. If you are really serious about opening doors for yourself take our advice and years of experience and don’t short-change yourself. Remember it’s your opportunity, not anyone else’s, so spend your money wisely. RMS regularly offer special promotions and discounts so always check to see what we have on offer to assist you. REDUCE YOUR FEES BY UP TO 70%
