This is really up to you. First training sessions in the Heavy Rigid trucks are recommended to be one hour, as the first training session is often quite exhausting. Subsequent training can be booked for two hours. Heavy Combination and Multi Combination training are usually booked for two hours or longer as these are usually undertaken by experienced drivers who already have a truck licence.
We are often asked which HR Licence should be obtained before applying for work in the mines. Really, this is down to you to do your research. Some mines will require a HR open Licence; some sites will only require a HR with a B condition.
Most of the large dump trucks are automatic and therefore a HR with a B condition will suffice but the mine could be running other sorts of vehicles within it's' operation - so better to check and be safe than sorry.

The short answer is YES! We frequently train people who have an auto licence to drive trucks. In many ways it is easier to train auto drivers than manual drivers. Driving a truck, especially those with a Road Ranger gearbox is very different from driving a four on the floor manual car. In fact manual drivers often find it harder to change gear than Auto drivers who have never used a clutch or gearbox in their life.
The simple answer here is knowing your road rules. All too often our instructors are spending hours instructing drivers on the road rules they should already know. To pass the assessment you need to put in an almost perfect drive. The small number of people who fail the assessment usually do so because their road rules are not up to scratch.
You will need to have held a C class Car licence for at least one year for Light and Medium Rigid Trucks and for two years for Heavy Rigid classes. For Heavy and Multi Combination classes you will need to have held a Heavy Rigid licence for one year.
If you are going to be obtaining your LR or MR licence, then you will need to get your learners permit from The Department of Transport, which must be carried on you during all lessons and produced on the test day with Department of Transport.As soon as they have issued this you are ready to drive.

Wouldn't employ any of them let alone use any of there courses again giving the answers to the students isn't teaching someone they are putting people's lives at risk .I found them to be dishonest and only interested in getting people in and out of the classes to make a quick buck .

From admin staff to instructors, everyone was very friendly and great to talk to. I went in for my MR license and my instructor was very great at her job and you could definitely tell she has the passion to ensure you pass. The price in my opinion was pretty good and the admins communication was excellent. I definitely would recommend this place.

Sridhar is one of the best instructors in Keen. He is really patient and efficient with his teaching pattern. He's also very knowledgeable on the vehicles themselves and his lessons helped me a lot. I've built up so much confidence and was not compromising until I got everything right, he encouraged me and explained things to great detail until I understood them. I finally got my license from KeenBros with the guidance of this instructor. Thank you very much Sridhar (instructor) and KeenBros.

Had my HR training today, 3 hours lessons by Mick, he was a fantastic tutor, patient and clear instructions. The reception ladies are very friendly and pleasant. On my Test Paul Keen was my Tester, lovely personality, made me feel very relaxed.
I would most definitely recommend this business to anyone who wants their Truck license.
I passed first time. Thank you Keen Brothers!!!
