About Us

Why Choose Operate WA Training

Trained by Operators

Our trainers ran these machines and drove these trucks for a living before they taught anyone. It shows in the first hour.

One Provider, Every Ticket

Plant, civil, safety, high risk and heavy vehicle under one RTO. One office to call and a single set of paperwork across every ticket.

Assessment on the Day

Our trainers are accredited assessors, so your practical assessment is completed with us on the day.

Train in What You Will Run

Automatic, synchromesh and Road Ranger in the trucks, and the machines themselves in our own yard.

Centres Across WA

Metro training runs from Cockburn Central and Forrestdale. Bunbury covers the South West.

Six Days a Week

Open Mon to Sat - 6am to 5pm, flexible and built around shift work.

Employers

Crew Training That Works Around Your Roster

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.

What Our Students Say

Laurie P.

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…

Prunelle L.

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%.

Michell K.

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

Michael B.

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!

Seán E.

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!

Oleg T.

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!
