What is it?
Before you can apply for your Full Class 5 Truck & Trailer Licence, you must first acquire a Learner Licence to prove that you remember the basic road rules.

What is involved?
Before you sit your test you should obtain a Medical Certificate from your doctor unless you have had one within the last 5 years.  Be sure to tell your doctor that this certificate is for a driver licence.

Go to the AA or VTNZ licensed Testing Station to sit your Learner Licence.  This is a 35 question Scratchy Test consisting of 25 questions from the standard Road Code, 5 questions from the Class 2 Road Code and 5 questions from the Class 5 Road Code. (We can send you some information to help you with the Truck questions if you wish)
The cost for the scratchy test will be $79.  

They will give you a temporary paper Class 5L licence while your plastic version is being processed and sent to you in the mail.

What can I do with my Learner Licence?
This licence allows you to drive a Class 5 vehicle provided you have someone sitting beside you in the cab who has had their full Class 5 licence for at least 2 years.

This licence also qualifies you to participate in our Class 5 Truck Licence Course which will see you able to apply for your FULL Class 5 licence by the end of the course.
