    First and formost we are a heavy vehicle driver training school. CHVDT has the skills and experience to train you to the required level to obtain your heavy vehicle licence. Prior to commencing the first lesson CHVDT will provide you the opportunity to drive the vehicle. Should you feel uncomfortable in this vehicle, or wish to train for a different licence class, CHVDT can complete the session with you in the appropriate vehicle.

    The vehicle must be appropriately registered and insured and MUST pass a full roadworthy, which will be conducted by the Trainer/Assessor on the day of training.
