Highway Truck Training is the name Perth drivers know for heavy vehicle licensing. Operate WA Training is the registered training organisation behind it, extending the same standards across machinery, civil construction and high risk work.
Excavators, loaders, dozers, rollers, telehandlers, RII civil units, White Card, first aid, and more. We set the date around your week and roster.

Our trainers ran these machines and drove these trucks for a living before they taught anyone. It shows in the first hour.
Plant, civil, safety, high risk and heavy vehicle under one RTO. One office to call and a single set of paperwork across every ticket.
Our trainers are accredited assessors, so your practical assessment is completed with us on the day.
Automatic, synchromesh and Road Ranger in the trucks, and the machines themselves in our own yard.
Metro training runs from Cockburn Central and Forrestdale. Bunbury covers the South West.
Open Mon to Sat - 6am to 5pm, flexible and built around shift work.
If you are booking multiple employees or apprentices at once, talk to the Operate WA Training team. Group bookings mean better pricing and enrolment dates set around your roster rather than a fixed course calendar.
Our training catalogue covers the training we are asked for most often. Tell us what you require and we will confirm whether we can deliver it, and when.
Very good experience! The trainer Malcom were excellent and very helpful! Had done truck training before and nothing was even close to the amount of attention and help was given by him! Thanks highway truck training
I had an excellent experience with Highway Truck Training and would recommend 100%. I needed to get my HR Licence urgently and the whole team assisted me greatly.
The training by Gary #1 was clear and thorough and the assessment by Malcom was calm and straightforward.
My whole experience was fantastic and will definitely return when I choose to upgrade my licence to MC…
Just passed my HR auto with Malcolm, absolute legend!
I was struggling with the reverse at first, but he took extra time (and mostly extra patience) with me and never made me feel stressed about it. He even found a way of teaching it that really worked for me, which made all the difference. Super clear, patient, and actually makes learning fun.
I recently did my MC and was trained by 2 seperate trainers who were patient and were great at explaining things differently in order for me to understand. The workers here (including assessor) are super calm and relaxed which takes away the thought of an actual assessment. Would recommend these guys 100%.
I recently completed my HR licence training and successfully passed my test…
I would especially like to give a shout-out to Brad and John, who assisted me with my driving training today. They were knowledgeable, encouraging, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which helped build my confidence behind the wheel…
I passed my HR licence on Sunday! The Highway Truck Training team were welcoming from the moment we arrived through the gates… Harman was extremely accommodating with lessons.
Patient Wayne, thank you for sharing your skills, knowledge and experience with me, you sure know your stuff & grateful to to have had you as my instructor. Ned, thank you so much for coming in on a Sunday to do my assessment! Thanks again team…
I did my HR open license within 3 days I passed due to really good instructors. I had two different instructors and both were excellent teachers and made it a very good learning environment. I highly recommend anyone who’s a beginner
From my initial training enquiries with Harmen, who kindly assisted with prompt bookings and scheduling around my work commitments made booking a breeze.
Professional, personable and passionate guidance from both Colin and Wayne during my training made my journey memorable…
If you’re considering who to choose for training, stop looking and start booking Highway Truck Training!
Trainer was an amazing person (Brad) definitely made me feel comfortable and not nervous and the assessor (Malcom) did an awesome job of correcting if needs be and made me feel at ease! overall would definitely recommend.
Absolutely awesome team, friendly & professional staff. Ned was my instructor & I can’t say enough about how effective his technique for teaching is! Calm cool & collected at all times. Definitely could not have got through my training without him! I’m now qualified to drive MC. Thanks Ned & the team, will be highly recommending to everyone
Completed both HR & MC with Highway Truck Training, very easy to book and deal with, Ned was a outstanding instructor very patient and helpful and made sure all aspects and procedures were covered thoroughly in preparation for my assessment.

Excellent training provided by Colin to get me through my MC license I’m very happy with the whole experience. Harmin at the front desk thanks for your help with all the required bookings
Highway Truck Training was a great process and experience! Trainers are calm and collected. I had two different trainers as I required a few more lessons before taking my assessment both of which were patient and had tons of great advice. It put me at ease a lot and helped in passing my assessment.
Thanks to the whole team!
I was given the opportunity to complete my Heavy Vehicle (MC) truck training with Highway Truck Training. The team provided thorough knowledge and a clear understanding of the required roles and skills.
Colin (Ned) is an excellent instructor—by far the best I’ve had in my experience.
Many thanks to the team for my MC course!
I have just yesterday passed my MC Licence having been trained by Coling who was calm, patient, kind and very knowledgeable! Harman runs the extremely busy office with calm amd ease. All in all I highly recommend Highway Truck Training..!!!!

You do not need to hold a driver licence or WA driver licence to undertake training and assessment for this unit where training is conducted in a suitable controlled training environment or on private property.
Completing this unit does not give you a driver licence, high risk work licence or automatic authority to operate the equipment at every workplace.
Workplaces, mine sites and other states or territories may have additional licensing, induction, site authorisation or competency requirements. You should check the requirements of the workplace where you intend to operate the equipment.
