Our Services

What We Do

We are based in the ACT, offering heavy vehicle training for residents of the Canberra/ACT, Queanbeyan, South Coast, Southern Highlands, Riverina and adjoining regions. Our Trainer/Assessors aim to support education, practical knowledge and safe operational practices for those entering or continuing in the Australian Transport Industry.



Our driver trainers aim to support the safety of the transport industry. Drivers that are upgrading to a LR, MR, HR, HC or MC licence learn skills that apply directly to the type of vehicle they will be driving once licensed.


Our instructors help those drivers to become confident while still showing respect to other road users. Our experienced instructors don't just teach bus and truck drivers. We also provide training for recreational and lifestyle vehicles, including motorhomes.

Flexible Tailored Training Sessions

Using our vehicles or your own vehicle, CapitalHVDT will provide comprehensive training that is tailored to each individual student. These training sessions are generally catered towards trainees who are coordinating their training around their work or family commitments.

CapitalHVDT offers training courses in LR,MR, HR and Combination vehicles. If further training is required before the student is deemed competent, this can also be arranged, with an eye on keeping the blood pressure at a minimum.

Please contact us to further discuss your specific requirements.

Verification Of Competencies (Company Vehicles)

We can provide a discreet and confidential Verification Of Competency (VOC) for your staff members, if you have been receiving phone calls about bad driving practices or their driving style is costing you money in repairs. Remember, it is your name and reputation on display!!!

This involves a Trainer/Assessor riding shotgun with staff members as they go about their business, with an eye on correcting bad habits, education on safe driving practices and assessment on their overall conduct, whilst behind the wheel.

Call us to find out more.

2 Day Course

CHVDT delivers a 2 day training course for students who have little or no experience in HC and MC vehicles.
