Driving Courses - Central Coast

Comprehensive Driving Lessons

At Truck Training & Assessments on the Central Coast, we facilitate a range of courses for the safe operation of trucks and buses. Typically, the courses run over 1 or 2 days. However, if you are unable to attend 2 solid days of training, we will spare no effort to spread the courses out at no extra cost. Our Central Coast driving instructors are friendly, patient, and will do everything they can to help you feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel.

If you have any questions about the courses we offer, or wish to organise a booking, contact Truck Training & Assessments today. We can facilitate courses from Penrith to Newcastle and all points in between.
