HR-A Licence WA: Pre-Requisites & Entry Requirements

Failing to notify us may result in forfeiting fees if you cannot complete the course due to language difficulties.
For those looking to expand their qualifications even further, after completing your HR-A licence, you can also pursue additional licences, such as the MC driver’s licence, which opens up more opportunities for driving multi-combination trucks.
