Gary McNamara, 18/7/18

Hi. I would just like to say thank you all at Advanced Heavy Vehicle Driver Training for your help in helping me gain my HR drivers License.

I have found the service you provided to be top quality and helpful from the first contact right up to me walking out of the Department of Transport and Main Roads door with my pass certificate and upgraded licence on Tuesday.

All the staff, Karine, Donna and Greg were very professional and polite but at the same time very friendly and approachable, their knowledge of the industry and training really stood out.

It was also great to do the training close too and on the actual morning of the test day as well. They also fitted in the training with my part time job, me being only available afternoons and very early morning. Thank you Greg Davis.

I would have no issues in recommending Advanced Heavy Vehicle Driver Training to anyone, I will also be back soon hopefully to undertake my Forklift licence Training with you.

Once again thank You for all your hard work.
Gary McNamara.

Andrew Marshall

Great customer service. Everyone was always amicable and easy to get on with. Instructors were great, always ready to answer questions, and give tips/advice outside the box (i.e. stuff useful to know for 'real life' trucking, not just in preparation for the test). Would definitely recommend to anyone else looking at getting their truck licence.

5 STARS!

I would like to pass on my thought regarding this course.
The trainer - Marcus - was extremely knowledgeable in the area of his expertise and had the ability to pass on his teaching skills to us in class as well as in the pract.
He made us feel comfortable during this course and gave us the ability to pass it accordingly.
Thanks - pete v

Dennis Murphy

Hi
I enjoyed the course and the manner of presentation and practical learning. During the course I learnt a lot of aspects of fork lift operation which I was not taught when first operating a forklift some 30 odd years ago. The learning environment and equipment is similar to many industrial /rural operating environments.
Marcus has the skill to instruct a group of people with diverse learning abilities and skill levels making the course enjoyable to do.
Since undertaking the course I have made improvements to my manner of operating our fork lift both in efficiency and safety. This will benefit our business.
I can highly recommend anyone wanting to obtain their fork lift qualification to enroll in the AHVDT course.
Cheers
Dennis Murphy

Dear Advanced Heavy Vehicle Driver Training

The purpose of this email is to provide some feedback on my recent training - TLIC4006A Drive Multi-Combination Vehicle - Open.

I would like extend my thanks to Sally Brown and the team at Advanced Heavy Vehicle Driver Training for your very professional approach and excellent training.

The assistance of the team provided me from my initial contact, through to the conduct of my training was outstanding.

The initial administration and advice regarding training options and courses was fantastic.

The training I received prior to my course from Sally Brown was simply outstanding, she was a very knowledgeable professional and an excellent trainer. I cannot thank Sally enough for the training she provided me and the way she conducted my course.

Sally is the best instructor I have ever worked with. She was calm, patient, a lovely lady, and a very experienced professional driver and her experience and knowledge allowed me to quickly learn. Sally is an asset to Advanced Heavy Vehicle Driver Training and I aspire to be like her as a professional driver.

To any drivers aspiring to gain their MC licence, I highly recommend Advanced Heavy Vehicle Driver Training - Rockhampton, and Sally Brown.

Regards
Samantha Omand

Thoroughly enjoyed my lessons provided by AHVDT. Sally my trainer was very patient with me as I learned to drive with the crash box and provided excellent feedback and tough love when I needed it. I have no hesitation in recommending them for all your heavy vehicle training. Thanks again team for making my experience an enjoyable one.

Stephan Steere

From me 5 star rating and l injoyed my lesson it was and learnt quite a bit THANKYOU. Stephan steere

Dusty Dern

Sally was a great trainer and with her extensive driving experience in many different trucks and operations made it very reassuring that I was being trained to a very high standard by someone who knows what they are talking about. The easy going, friendly and fun approach helps to alleviate most of the stress for anyone who has only minimal experience and also being given the extra time to go over anything that may require extra attention. I can not thank the team there for the support in helping myself obtain the required licence I was seeking. Very highly recommended.

Brendan Bowles

Hi Karine,

Thanks again for your efforts and for the team at AHVDT for teaching me the skills to allow me to obtain my HR license.

Right from the beginning with Greg organising my first lesson I felt very comfortable jumping in and start learning.

My recent lessons with John were really good. John came across in a very professional manner and communicated instructions very well. There was no time where I felt uncomfortable or awkward during any of my lessons. He made the learning phase very enjoyable in both the Freightliner and the Mack.

I had Sally for my pre-test drive and found her really good value. Along the way she told of her experience with trucking and gave examples of situations of where checking mirrors and correct gear selection was very important.

Karine, you were great with touching base with me after Greg left off with organising my lessons with John and pre-test drive with Sally. After failing my first driving test and as soon as you were aware of a cancellation you contacted me to book my second driving test for the very next day. This time I passed! You kept me updated with the cost of the training and test booking fees along the way which was much appreciated.

I have had a good think and cannot find anything negative or constructive to say about my experience with AHVDT. I have been instructed by Greg, John and Sally and found all very consistent in the way they teach and found them all pleasant to drive with.

Thanks again for the enjoyable training experience! I will definitely be recommending you guys to anyone interested in heavy vehicle driver training.

Cheers,

Brendan Bowles

Can't recommend these guys highly enough. Did a total of 3 lessons all up & felt pretty comfortable with going for the HR test on completion of the third - with success! Greg is calm & a straight shooter when it comes to tightening up on little things I was getting wrong or a bit lax on. Thanks again guys!

Both myself & Paul completed the training, we both found it extremely benefical, a necessity. Both instructors did a great job teaching us and made it enjoyable, built confidence (especially for me, who had never hooked a trailer up). We would thoroughly recommend your business to anyone. Also the variety of trucks, accomodates everyone.
